Something to chew on. Illegal netting is illegal netting, no matter who is doing it. The lake was just fine before it was colonized. The fact that illegal netters can make profit means that there is a market for it on the first place. Treaty rights do not bend at our will, they are the law of the land just like our Constitution. Meanwhile the OFAH will fight any and all measures suggested to help out the lake. I don't believe the lake is in the dire straits that some people seem to suggest, as any competent walleye angler that spends time out there will catch a ton of fish, and there are two very strong year classes just now reaching sexual maturity, so if we can a few good recruitment years from those fish, that will be a huge help. Stocking is not the answer. Walleye should not exist on a put and take basis, seems really silly to me to be suggesting that, since Nipissing is a walleye factory and shouldn't require supplementation if managed properly.
