So last night I tried my luck at the Thornbury Dam given the time of year. Made my way to be the
closest fisherman to the dam. Great Spot! There was a Guy on the other side of the river casting
towards the dam underneath the "this area is closed to fishing" wire and within 10 minutes he had
pulled 2 female rainbows and called it a day. Taking them home of course.
Well the same guy shows up today and he yells to me I'm casting to far under the wire and I'd get
In trouble. 15ft is Ok but anything further is worthy of me losing my gear and vehicle. Wowzas!
If that's the case then the signage should be much more explanatory. Something like, "No fishing
this area or casting under this wire" would be a better sign to let one know. Even a lousy lawyer
could get you off "the hook" with vague signage like this.
I yelled back that he was a Hypocrite for doing the same thing the night before, which bothered him.
I'm sure a lot of eyes are rolling at me, but u don't get your fishing license the same way you get
your driver's license. The MNR should either provide more detailed signage to what an infraction
could be or build something better than this overhanging wire that people can cast under.
Looking forward to be told I'm wrong!
