Many Many... years ago my father would take me and my brothers finishing up in northern in Ontario. We would fish all day and bring back the largest fish we caught.... returning smaller ones back into to the lake. When we caught fish we would put them on these chains that attached to the side of the boat. A Clip was put through the gill of the fish and then closed. The chain with fish attached via the gill was then lowered into the lake while we continued to fish.
I have not fished since those days back in the 1970's. I am taking my children to a cottage this summer and want to make sure I follow the proper rules in Ontario. I did pick up a fishing guide but it does not tell me how to "keep" fish while still out fishing? My brother has told me that those 'gill chains' are not legal anymore in Ontario.... Is this true?
What I need to know is how do I keep the fish alive properly while still out fishing. Can those Gill chains still be used? What abouot these large baskets that you lower into the water? Do I need to bring an empty cooler or something to put the fish in?
Please help
Thanks
