from my conversation with the mnr for what its worth .. these parks will still stay as day use but no extras

"thumbs up " @ pikeslayer

Pikeslayer do you advise your guest that some of the fish are not edible for human consumption ???

You charter boat guys need to come to port hope and see the slaughter of rainbows from the charter boats here 5 fish limits per person are not uncommon. salmon are now not a put and take fishery any more . they are naturally reproducing the ganny has never been stalked with salmon and a study was done and it is aprox 70% natural. the salmon are now so prolific that the mnr/lomu are canceling there nose tagging issuing that it is to costly, my bet is it is so that they cant prove that stocking on our side is not needed anymore

why cant you walk the tracks ????

"As we know, running salmon die in the fall," Sharpe said. But with the water levels in the Ganaraska River being very low, the carcasses aren't washing out to the lake the way they usually do. This year the problem is exacerbated by anglers catching the salmon, cutting them open and taking the eggs, then leaving the carcasses to rot on the shore. "I've been in touch with the GRCA (Ganaraska Regional Conservation Authority) and the MNR (Ministry of Natural Resources)," Sharpe said. Staff has been monitoring the situation and planning to put a volunteer training program in place to help lessen the problem in the future. "It's certainly a big job collecting these carcasses," Sharpe said. Resident Gord Walter said that there are large flocks of turkey vultures that feed on these fish, so he suggested piling the fish on the shores of the lake. However, local lawyer John Morand said that if the municipality did not allow using eggs as bait, these fisherfolk would not be gutting the salmon. Jason Whyte, who spends a lot of time on the Ganny, says he's disgusted with what is going on. "I have no problem with the fish dying naturally, because that's what they do (at this time of year), but this is not all natural," Whyte said, pointing to several carcasses lying in the water below the Rotary bridge. He said he watched people snag the salmon, fight to bring them in, then release them without giving them a chance to recuperate. This practice has resulted in hordes of dead fish found all along the shores and sandbars, and in shallow areas — and some fish have been gutted or filleted and thrown back into the river. And if there were garbage cans along the park areas beside the river, many of the carcasses might be disposed of properly, he said, adding that there are only two garbage cans on the west side and one on the east. A fisherman was observed Wednesday as he caught a salmon and grabbed it by the gills, reaching inside the mouth with pliers to remove the hook, causing it to bleed profusely. He then put it back in the river and kicked it into deeper water where it soon was washed over the rocks on its side. "That fish is probably going to die" as a result of its treatment, Whyte said. He said it's so important that the fish are revived before being released. Whyte has photos of people using nets to catch the fish, and claims to have seen people gutting the fish and taking the eggs. He said he called the Port Hope Police Service as well as the Ministry of Natural Resources and got nowhere. Police Chief Kevin McAlpine said that enforcement is the responsibility of the MNR, but that the police are doing everything they can to be proactive. They've fielded many complaints, and while they are "not equipped nor trained" to enforce the laws, they do "warn people and discourage people" from breaking the law, McAlpine said in a telephone interview. He added that his officers are being proactive and walking the river's shorelines to help discourage lawbreakers. MNR's Peterborough District acting enforcement officer, Craig Smith, said Thursday that he had responded to questions asked by Northumberland Today on Wednesday, but they were being vetted by his supervisor, and no responses were forthcoming by deadline.

wont go there ron .. its horrible this year.. every day netting and grabbing with hands. in the middle of the day.. its just nasty.. by the way your son picked up 2 more bags of garbage .. and 8 fish bodies i did not get video of natives going to spear fish .. and saying they would be back in the spring to get rainbows the i have edited to show the boy and the girl that are coming to do it ..

the Ofah did the same thing with the 2 fish limit on lake ontario they dont want it and yet the clubs in the areas do want a 2 fish limit.. and the new manager of the lomu "forgot to submit the legeslation last year hopefully he gets it right this year and it is in play for next year . ... if that was you or i we would loose our jobs

the ofah is treading on thin ice here they got there hand slapped by the human rights commission a few years back for urging people to ask asians for fishing license and have since been ordered to post a pro stance of minorities fishing.. they had better watch what they say or they will be sunk again

Toronto anglers are casting a line to the city's executive committee to see if they'll bite on designating parts of the waterfront as a 'Gone Fishing' zone. But while some councillors say there's a benefit to public fishing, they're not swallowing the idea hook, line and sinker. Signs appeared on June 5 in public parks west of Unwin Ave. to near Sunnyside Park, indicating no fishing allowed along the waterfront. As many as 10,000 local anglers are affected and many say they've been fishing at these spots for decades without any trouble. "City parks have always been open for fishing," said avid angler David Kearney, 42. "The fishing community has respected the sign and stopped fishing. We were told we could fish Ontario Place up until when it goes under construction. But it's so filled with garbage, you can't fish there." Councillor Paula Fletcher will bring her "Gone Fishin'" motion to the executive committee Tuesday, which requests all public bodies along the lakeshore "refrain from interfering with sport finish unless the activity compromises public safety." Under section 608-38 of Toronto's municipal code, urban fishing is allowed so long as there isn't a sign prohibiting it. Besides the city, the land along the waterfront belongs to the Toronto Port Authority, Ontario Place, Harbourfront Centre and a variety of private companies. But Deputy Mayor Doug Holyday said he hasn't received complaints from anglers about the signs and doesn't want to root for Fletcher's idea without hearing from city officials. "I want to hear from staff why they've taken this action and what the problems are, I don't think they'd do such a thing without a reason," he said. "There's always two sides of a matter and I think we have to hear this one out. There's probably a benefit to (fishing) at some locations." Fletcher also wants to establish "as much as possible" of Toronto's waterfront as a "Gone Fishing" zone and for city lawyers to review the legalities of these signs. "The city needs to have a really close look and say fishing is a great recreational sport, lots of people do it and as much of the waterfront as possible is open for fishing and we find areas that can be set aside," she said. "There's probably a bunch of these by-laws across the waterfront. It's very confusing on the waterfront? Everyone owns a piece. It's another fishing hole closed by bureaucrats." Many anglers, Kearney said, who used to fish at Harbourfront Centre were told last fall that people could not bring their lures and rods on their property. Anglers were told to leave and some were told they could face a $2,000 fine.

talking to a guy that works there ... there contract comes up this summer...it is a negotiating tool.... but you can never say never... the uaw has known about this for about 3 years..

water first thing in the morning if that is not possible water in middle of the day.. you want your grass to be dry going into the night... if we have a reall hot spell you can water during the day to keep your turf cool. as most of the damage to your lawn is being done in the middle of the day... 1 inch of water per week ... or more if you can ..

if you can take fishing line with flagging tape and string it across the yard it will work

if you know them ask them for trikill or par3 ... the active ingredients are 2 4 d , mecoprop and dicamba... that is a all round weed killer it is what is in weed killer you used to be able to buy but only in "prescription strength"

if you live in farm country and you know a farmer ask him for some 2-4d it is one of the ingredients in weed killer it will kill your dandelions but not your clover or other "waxy weeds" if you want a good lawn in the spring and fall get together with your neibours and rent a core aratior and do your lawns... maintain your lawn at 2.5 inches or longer and never ever ever water at night or the evening water in the morning or even in the heat of the day as that is when the most damage can be done to your lawn, you will not burn the lawn but you will loose some to evaporation which means cooling ... 10 years in the business before the ban.... i have lots of the good stuff left.. and if you know the right farmer you can buy it

This policy provides no coverage for automobiles, boats, motors, ATV's or snowmobiles,

lol revenue canada ... you be the judge

well to those that bought tickets good luck. to those that asked questions of the lottery did you get any response back from the ofah I am still waiting for the tax returns to come back from revenue canada

"Swamp People" star Mitchell Guist died on the bayou. Guist, the grizzled and bearded costar of the History reality series about Cajun alligator hunters, died Monday after suffering a fall while loading items into his boat in Assumption Parish, Louisiana, according to the network and news reports. He was four days short of his 48th birthday. He appeared on "Swamp People" with his brother Glenn; the two resembled each other so strongly that many people mistook them for twins. In a statement, History wrote in part: "Mitchell passed on the swamp, doing what he loved." "Swamp People" has become an important part of History's swing toward docu-reality series about people doing tough jobs whose inner workings are seldom seen by outsiders. The Season 2 finale last year drew a record 5.5 million total viewers, according to Nielsen.
