Nipfisher

Great discussion guys.

I wish you would read the article before making uneducated comments like this. The stocking program proposed is privately funded. The MNR is saying no to something that will not cost them anything. There is no harm to be done by the stocking and more fish in the lake is good for anglers and netters.

Saw the little story on the Whitie in the new OOD magazine. Way to go Tim.

Fedeli dismayed with MNRs refusal to work with Lake Nipissing stakeholders Wednesday, March 27, 2013 by: Kate AdamsNipissing MPP Vic Fedeli News Release ********************* Nipissing MPP Vic Fedeli expressed dismay today at the Ministry of Natural Resources refusal to work with Lake Nipissing stakeholders on solutions for the lake’s walleye fishery. Fedeli read a Members’ Statement confirming the Minister has rejected the stakeholders bid to establish a self-funded restocking initiative in response to the recent decision to reduce the daily walleye catch limit on Lake Nipissing from four to two. The statement also cited concerns raised by the Municipality of Callander Council in a recent resolution that was adopted. The prepared text of MPP Fedeli’s statement is as follows: Speaker, Lake Nipissing stakeholders are beside themselves after recent discussions with the Ministry of Natural Resources, who recently reduced the daily catch limits for walleye on Lake Nipissing from four to two. Despite being presented with scientific evidence in support of a significant restocking effort, the Minister has decided to maintain the status quo. Even though the stakeholders have stated they view this as a temporary solution, you’ve slammed the door on them, and their livelihoods in the process. The Municipality of Callander passed a resolution in January that asks you to reconsider the daily catch limit decision and asks “the Ministry of Natural Resources increase the support for, and provide additional resources dedicated towards alternative actions to address the decline in the Walleye population, including but not limited to, additional fishing opportunities for other species, consistent enforcement of regulations and daily catch limits and community-based restocking programs." Minister, Lake Nipissing stakeholders are ready to move forward with restocking initiatives they will fund completely. Why are you standing in their way instead of working with them on solutions going forward?

I paid an illegal u-turn ticket in Florida via VISA when I got back home. Cost me about $270 Can. Never impacted me or showed up on any abstract.

Ecotrex has them for sale T.J. $20 I think.

I use chartruse jigs, hooks, beads, and blades on Nipissing all year long. Come summer time only a few jig colours work on Nipissing andthey have to be a lighter shade. The Nipissing Jig is 1/2 red and 1/2 white with a stinger hook and it works well in the sand. In the rocks I like to use the chartruse hooks with stingers.

Welcome aboard Mo.

Saw that one Chad, had a good laugh.

Just trailer it up North a bit LOL. The Vernen Narrows and Gull Lake Narrows along the 400 N (Hwy. 11N) were wide open las week.

Those 9-12" walleye will be 11-14" next year. You'll get a big one this summer.

Wel done. Those were some beauty walleye.

Cool bird. Thanks for posting the pics.

You can pick up a cheap 4x8 utility trailer on kijiji for about $200.

I PM'd you Chad.

I laughed. Way to go Don.

All my perch and walleye come back to life after they thaw out.

What is the 1st bird?

Here are a few Nipissing pics from my adventutres. No real big ones, but missed walleye earlier in the year.

Shhhhhhh. There are no more walleye left in Nipissing. Great year for me in Callander Bay as well. I'll post my pics in this thread later if you are o.k. with that Chad.
