[GBW]

Hey all.

 

I was just wondering if anyone has seen the 2011 Ontario Recreational Fishing Regulations as of yet? If anyone has please let me know when you found it, thanks.

To the best of my knowledge, the regs are the same as last year.

The MNR website still has the 2010 regs posted.

That's why I was asking. I've got the ice season itch and want to be sure what I can keep in the new year.

Wait by renewall you mean me buying my 2011 conservation license sticker? I always thought you had to wait until the 2nd of January to get the sticker

Has anyone heard any rumors of any significant changes in the new regs?

Mike, when is your card due? If you need a new card then do it online for 3-years. Most places get the sticker before the new year so you can be legit for walleye opener on scugog.

I've heard rumour of Rainbow Trout limits being cut to 2 on Lake Ontario from 5

[hirk]

2011 stickers and new card apps. will be available at retailers any day now,there should be a new reg. book as well.

[GBW]

Tks Dave.

Mike, call Hirk's at the end of the week to see if he has the new sticker so you don't have to wait.

I just recieved my new card ( 2011-2013) in the mail, it took only 6 days from sending in the fee on line. Great service.

I'm sure that will cause a bit of uproar with the blue zone crowd. And the charters of course. I'd actually be quite surprised if that change was made.

[irishfield]

Well they had no problems killing the winter fishing businesses of Zone 11... so Lake O charters shouldn't been an issue either for them. If scientifics back the changes fine.. but Zone 11 was feed by cottage associations not wanting people fishing "their" lake when they aren't around...

The change is already been done on the American side without an uproar, Biologists on both sides of the lake have noticed dwindling Rainbow populations hence the new limits are being discussed.Two Steelies per person is plenty, there is no need for the charters to slaughter 20- 30 rainbows per trip, if you want to fish the blue zone take time to catch & release.

[Billy Bob]

The way things are going I could see in the future that we will purchase tags for all game species, like deer...

I agree completely. Those pics with 25 fish layed out on the grass are disgusting. I'm glad it's being changed, just surprised I haven't heard more about it.
