SRT8 smoker craft Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hey everyone a few guys have been looking into trying to get a sanctuary set up myself being one of them and we are making some head way now we want to show how much support there is in the angling community this will be at the falls in tillsonburg and possibly part of the river during closed times to help with enforcement so guys can't say "We are just sucker fishing "with a $1000 custom float rod and reel .So if you fish for steelhead in the river or Lake Erie please sign the petition and get your buddies to do the same Thanks in advance for your support. http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/bocsanctuary/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrownTown Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 Done! I'm still mad at the fact the OFAH turned down the idea before..... No reason for that part of the river to not be a sanctuary!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
splashhopper Posted May 9, 2011 Report Share Posted May 9, 2011 (edited) I signed it... and then it prompted me for a donation. It won't let me NOT give a donation.... The donation is NOT for the sanctuary but for the petition service itself. Bottom line. I can't sign it. Sorry. I tried. Oops... now I have an email that say I HAVE signed it...

SRT8 smoker craft Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I didn't know they asked for a donation ? hey OFNers our petition has lost it's steam if you could take a minute to sign it it would be greatly appreciated we are trying to get a area that should already be a sanctuary (under a waterfalls) to be posted and a cable put in place this won't effect any fishing opportunities and will benefit the fishery for many years to come .

thalweg Posted May 18, 2011 Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 I want to understand what this means better: "This petition is to show there is a need for a sanctuary on the big otter creek in the tilsonburg area to stop people fishing out of season for migratory rainbow trout." Does this mean a complete no fishing for any species during the closed season for trout? Is there a zone where this would be applied or the entire tributary? Is there a valid recreational fishery for any other specie during the closed trout season? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there a valid recreational fishery for any other specie during the closed trout season? Thanks We are trying to get the 22.9m below the water falls marked a provincial fish sanctuary (which it already is but is NOT enforced without being posted) and there is suckers and carp to be caught during the closed trout season. People are using the course fish as a excuse to fish for steelhead out of season. I have seen a tonne of guys the last few years float fishing with roe saying they are sucker fishing. The fish get jammed up at the dam and this will protect them from the honest anglers, poachers don't care but atleast we can call the tips line if they are fishing above the cable and signs. I definately don't want to shut the whole river down but the dam area needs to be a sanctuary badly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
