no the 5% of canadians who do Return On investment in the engergy sector has been outstanding and if you break down the markets one of the only points holding up this economy,

I hear what everyone is saying but let me paint it from another perspective. I feel for some of the families that have to commute and some that even have to make choices between food and fuel, that is just not right in any way shape or form There are some on the opposite side that say heck gas can go to 6 a litre, the profits made from energey sector day trades especially of late far out shadow any up cost to gas at the pump. A friend and I talked this yesterday after a debate with the hot dog dude on Lakeshore by the Credit. Regardless of how much gas costs are of late the profits made from the energy sector buffered any increase for the next decade or so in at the pump costs. To some its a cost of doing business, just like the HST, but when fuel costs 100 more a week but your earning 5 grand a week in profits due to a strong portfolio does it really matter

Port Credit is and will always be free from city charges, during the derby there is a fee which goes right to CRAA and its 100% put back to the fish. PC is undergoing a massive facelift and it should become even more boater friendly. Oakville doesnt care never will care about fish , fisherman and more

the gentle man behind this Guy Smith is one of a kind, and would run to any of your causes if you asked him.....well worth it

Bill it was all about the burger lol

glad you liked it, its on again tonight at 630

may the gods push oil to 200 a barrel

Grimace Im not advocating Justin either, hell Im blue to the bone so if they all fell apart Im ok with it....I think the hardest job on the hill right now it layton's. If I were giving him advise right now, it would be to put the bodies on the ground and run quebec, because all harper needs to do is put policy in place forcing big fires in QC, with all these new kids as MP's and not a clue whats going on the protest vote will turn to a revolt fast. Hey if Layton can manage QC and actually turn it into something, he might have something here, very interesting events in Canadian poltics right now.... Its done time to start ramping Ontario up

Ok so we have a majority goverment that will try to portray the center but really will drive the country to the right as much as possible, an opposition that will have to figure out what to do with the " new quebec" front while trying to portray a centralists view but really will want to drive to the left.....hmmmm then rae as leader in charge of rebuilding a party Bob doesnt have the machine to begin to start that up and I ll wager while he might be interim leader, there is no way in a convention he wins it, I think he is needed to rebuild but the base wont take him to the game in 4 years, for that you need a new body, vision and a lot of carisma. Layton has big problems if he wants to hold his party together, the quebec vote was a protest vote nothing more, he either converts it to stability or in 4 yrs lose's it all. Expect him to be in quebec a hell of a lot, while harper push's the coutry to the right, and the liberal's find a new white knight, maybe its time for trueau's boy to step up to the big game...

show is airing Tuesday night WFN at 10 pm as Mike D said to me the other day get beer and cheesies, Hope you have a good chuckle, as its not there to teach more to entertain

Terry can I commission you to do a painting for me, my mother died last week and I have some images of her fishing and my family fishing I would like to re create to hang in my office

thats right Bill I always forget that, ok you catch em for bait I ll eat em

this should answer pretty much most of the questions There are two pieces of legislation that are relevant to the question of access to fishing waters in the Province of Ontario. The first, and most important, is the Beds of Navigable Waters Act [R.S.O 1990 c. B.4]. The second is the Heritage Hunting and Fishing Act, 2002 [s.O. 2002, c. 10]. The right to hunt and fish With the proclamation of the Heritage Hunting and Fishing Act, 2002, the Government of Ontario recognized that hunting and fishing have played important roles in shaping Ontario's social, cultural and economic heritage and that recreational hunters and anglers have made important contributions to the understanding, conservation, restoration and management of Ontario's fish and wildlife resources. The Act not only provides for the establishment of the Ontario Fish and Wildlife Heritage Commission, but specifically creates, for the fist time, a statutory right to hunt and fish in the Province. Specifically, subsection 1(1) of the Act provides that: “A person has a right to hunt and fish in accordance with the law.” The right to hunt and fish is not an unfettered right. You have to exercise that right, “in accordance with the law”. What this means is that as long as you have a licence (if you are required to have one) and you respect:: a) the various regulations regarding seasonal closures, equipment restrictions, catch and possession limits, and; private property rights, you have a right to fish which is recognized and protected by law in this Province. The regulations regarding licenses, seasonal closures, equipment restrictions, and catch and possession limits can be obtained in printed form from your local bait and tackle dealer or the Ministry of Natural Resources. Water access It is clear that you cannot trespass upon private property while exercising your right to hunt and fish. Private lakes and ponds (bodies of water without deeded public access) are off-limits unless you have permission from the landowner. The question becomes more complex when you consider other bodies of water that are accessible to the public. The Beds of Navigable Waters Act addresses the issue in section 1 of the act, specifically it provides that: “Where land that borders on a navigable body of water or stream, or on which the whole or a part of a navigable body of water or stream is situate, or through which a navigable body of water or stream flows, has been or is granted by the Crown, it shall be deemed, in the absence of an express grant of it, that the bed of such body of water was not intended to pass and did not pass to the grantee” Section 1 of the Beds of Navigable Waters Act creates a statutory presumption that owners of land abutting navigable waters (or streams) do not have ownership of the lake-bed/stream-bed, unless the original Crown land grant specifically states that the lakebed/streambed is included as part of the property. There are some exceptions to this rule, specifically: a) if the land was granted before 1911 (the year that the Act was first proclaimed) and a court determined before 1911 that the landowner also owned the rights to the stream bed, or; the landowner establishes to the satisfaction of a court that a water power enterprise of some sort was established in the waterway before 1911, and the landowner had a reasonable belief that he or she had the right to use the streambed for such purpose, or; c) the waterway is designated as one to which the Act does not apply (at this time there is only one such waterway, located in Merritt Township in the District of Sudbury). Crown land grants which specifically include rights to the streambed are rare, and were/are usually made in relation to places where mills, power dams or hunting/fishing clubs were/are to be established. These places are usually pretty obvious and are usually posted. That being said, the best way to satisfy yourself that your exclusion from a waterway is legitimate is to head off to the Registry Office and look at the original Crown grant to see if such rights were specifically granted. If the streambed was not specifically granted to the abutting landowner, the bed of the waterway is Crown Land and can be used by the public to exercise its right to hunt and fish. The question of Navigability The question of whether or not a particular waterway is “navigable” is more problematic. If a waterway is not, “a navigable body of water”, section 1 of the Beds of Navigable Waters Act does not apply and the landowner's rights would be considered to extend into the streambed. Not surprisingly, the issue of what “navigable” means (within the context of the Beds of Navigable Waters Act) has, from time to time, been the subject of litigation in this Province. The first cases concerning the issue of navigability were primarily focused on the question of whether or not a waterway could be used for commercial purposes (i.e. shipping goods or floating logs). The first test of navigability therefore included the consideration of whether or not the waterway was a commercially viable means of transportation. That criteria has recently been deemed not to be conclusive of the issue, but rather evidence that a waterway is navigable (but it is not an essential condition to prove navigability). Essentially, the question of navigability will be looked at by the court from two perspectives - historic use and present use. If any of the following are found by a court considering the issue of navigability of a particular waterway to be fact, the waterway will be considered to be navigable: a) it is used for commercial shipping; it is used by the public as an “aqueaous highway” (i.e. it must have real or practical value to the public as a means of transport from one point of public access to another). The vessels being used do not have to be large - if the waterway is used by small watercraft (i.e. canoes, inflatable rafts, kayaks, paddle boats), or used by the public for transportation in the winter (i.e. snowmobiles, cross-country skies, snowshoes), it will be considered to be navigable; c) it is capable of being used by the public as an “aqueaous highway”. In situations where no actual present use of the waterway can be established, the court will look at historic use of the waterway and expert information regarding the present characteristics of the waterway to determine if it can in fact be used as described above. The issue has been explored further, and a court will now find that a waterway is navigable, even if: a) it is only navigable during certain times of the year (i.e. spring run-off); the waterway is interrupted by dams or other obstructions (natural or man-made) which impede navigation; c) it is navigable in some parts, but not others (in such cases section 1 of the Beds of Navigable Waters Act applies only to those sections that are navigable); d) if the river is navigated for purposes other than transportation (i.e. for fishing or other recreational pursuits) The myth of the “highwater mark” Many people believe that the public has a right to use land up to the highwater mark of a navigable waterway while traversing the course of the waterway. Except for a very brief period in time (between 1940 and 1951, when an earlier version of the Beds of Navigable Waters Act provided that the Crown owned the beds of navigable waterways to the highwater mark of the waterway) the law in Ontario has always been that the boundary between a waterway and the abutting land is the waterline. In other words, if you are out of the water, you could be on private property. Generally, the public has no right to enter on to private property abutting a waterway unless consent of the landowner has been granted. You can be liable to penalties if the land is posted against trespassers (i.e a “No Trespassing Sign” or a red dot painted on objects along the boundary of the property). The public's right to use a navigable waterway (and the bed of the waterway) does not include a right to enter upon private property to portage around a natural obstacle in the waterway, or a legally constructed obstacle in the waterway. Unless there is a recognized right (at law) to portage, you need permission to travel overland. What this means is that although you have a right to use a navigable waterway, your right may not be able to exercise that right in some circumstances. Without permission to use the abutting land as a portage, you run the risk of facing trespass charges. Landowners beware ! Section 18(2) of the Fish and Game Act (Ontario) prohibits unauthorized persons from giving notice prohibiting activity on Crown land. If you own property abutting a navigable waterway and you do not allow people to use the waterway for fishing and/or hunting, you are contravening section 18(2) of the Fish and Game Act (Ontario) and may be liable to have a penalty imposed.

Dara I just ate some the other day from that creek, I swear there is not much better then some smelt...Bill Are you mad Pike bait, some corn flour in hot oil, thier value is far greater as good eats

great video, we have similar issues on the Credit with dams these days, the two Norval and Streestville now have fishways to pass fish but groups like Trout Unlimited and Issiac Walton Fly Fishing club are doing all in thier power to stop salmon and trout from getting past them to awsome spawning water

well you know, if your an ofah member you can always write them a letter explaining your thoughts on the matter also. One of the problems with the internet these days and ( dont gut me on it) is that while its a great vehicle to post and share information it also provides one a way to vent via a post, sad thing is that the entity beig vented on rarely sees the response. We feel better but in the end nothing was accomplished. If your not happy with the OFAH decision please write them a letter call or email Ontario Federation of Anglers & Hunters 4601 Guthrie Drive, PO Box 2800 Peterborough, ON K9J 8L5 Contact Details: Phone: 705-748-OFAH (6324) Fax: 705-748-9577 E-Mail: [email protected] thier decision let a lot of thier partners down by not supporting thier iniatives, conservation sadly with Big brother seems a one way street

I know this has sat for a while but here is your last chance to let the MNR know your stance on this fishery, there are two weeks left for comment so if you havnet commented as of yet please do so

thanks for that it was really enjoyable to watch!!!!

silvio, lots of good advise here you dont need more, only thing I can add to is that having the gear is one thing, catching them is an all together different thing. I suggest joining a bass club doing some tournaments are seeing how some of the really good guys fish and buy product. Pm me if you want more info

Higher gas prices and higer insurance prices are all a result of the billions in payments happening from the gulf spill. There is nothing ANY politician or even the Prime Minister can even do. They can give some tempory relief in a tax break if need be, but it would be financed by deficit spending, leading to cuts somewhere else down the line. Its a commodity, traded as a future, and until crude is removed from the futures market it will be driven by PROFIT. Personally to me its a corporate expense, just like the HST being an input credit. What ever I have earned in investment returns from the energy sector far and wide over shadows any cost increases in fuel and its derrivities Who I do feel sorry for is the families that were already on the edge financially, and are now being forced to make sacrificies on food items to afford gas and all its evil twins, there in fact lies the true shame of this I read an economic report a few months back thats prediciting that 60% of the US population will be making critical choices in lifestyle to afford gas.....

the problem is mnr has no money for nothing and they in many cases rely on stakeholders to do things, slowly the mnr wants to be big brother and let everyone do the work, but under thier rules, thier game plan, thier way, ohh god man I could go on for weeks we can bonk some whites in a few weeks and chew fat on it all day
