For those of you that are not aware, I joined the FMZ20 council late last year as a volunteer. As a council member, I would like to hear feedback on Lake Ontario fisheries, negative or positive, any ideas you have etc. Feedback on stocking or regulations etc. Feel free to send me a PM anytime regarding anything you would like regarding Lake Ontario. All the best, Aaron
