Cudz Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 If you are coming from Barrie on Hwy 90 turn right just before the bidge in Angus. You can park there or drive 200 yards or som down the dirt road and park. The river is right there and easily accessed. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisherman Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I wouldn't be LOL when the Bylaw Enforcement Officer tags you, yes it's $40 for the year, fishing on either side of the #90 bridge at the old Conservation Office site or across the road where the Salmon Derby shack is to where the triangular parking lot is. Don't go down Don Ross Rd and park and fish unless you have written permission from the landowners. The BEO tags & tows. Permits are available from the Essa Twsp office or (I think the library in Angus, not sure). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cudz Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Wow! I guess things have changed in the past 20 years. I have fished there a bunch of times this year without any pass. What is this pass and where do I get one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 It's an Essa Township fishing permit, available at the office just east of Baxter, and I think at the Angus library(not 100% sure). Just one of those fees that pays for garbage disposable, river enhancement, etc. There's also a $10, one day tag available. If you opt for the $40 tag, it gets you into the annual Essa Salmon Derby, usually the 3rd weekend of Sept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Crooks everywhere what can you do. Everybody is trying to score a buck any way. Bad enough you have to pay taxes through your nose plus everyone else is trying to rip you off on every corner. Just go fish somewhere else man, plenty tribs up that way i am pretty sure.

I guess that ignorance truly is bliss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Ya, I know, money for this, that and everything else, but, better to know than get bit in the arse by a ticket and tow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luv2drift Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I'll never pay that 40 dollars. If fishermen continue to allow this type of double dipping (fishing licence plus a permit) than in twenty years you won't be able to afford to fish anywhere. Every spot you go will cost you cash!!!! By the way Essa doesn't own the river and as long as your toes are dipped into the water they can piss off! It is not tresspassing and the ticket won't hold up in court. Infact, you don't even have to pay a tresspassing ticket. However, I would be weary of them tagging you for a parking ticket! Navigatable waterways act.

luv2drift Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Hey Ball9320 .....That'll be $10.99 for each one of the creek chubs. You can just pay essa township. Oh yah and each different fly you were using that'll be $2.99 each. one more small fee ............. just let essa know how long each fish was on your hook cuz that'll be $3.50 a minute.
