Is Mountsberg open for winter?

Does Mountsberg have ice fishing? or can you even still fish now before the ice comes? Bass season is done soon everywhere and if I remember correctly the sign says pike season closes November 30 even though most places in zone 16 you can fish for them till April.

What do the regulations say?

 

conservation areas in this vacinity are quite often changing the rules and reg's depending on water levels, species catch limits, and over-all fishery limitations.Get on the phone and talk to the employees to get a good grasp on what's what.

 

i used to fish another conservation area close to mountsberg. of late it's hit or miss in the winter because of these fluctuations.

What do the regulations say?

MNR or conservation area? Either way as I said in my post they are not the same which is why I posted this. I was hoping someone would know based on the previous years.

Ice Fishing is NOT permitted in Conservation Halton parks

 

Bass closed Nov. 30 as well, and I think you are correct in they prohibit fishing from Nov. 30 till bass opener in June.

Thanks^ I just did more research and yes no ice fishing or pike/bass fishing during winter. Kinda sucks ice fishing would be awesome at Mountsberg but the fish could use a brake there.

There are other fisheries close by that may open if water levels are adequate with sufficient safe ice. PM me

That no ice fishing policy is what keeps a pike population there the rest of the year. However there a lot of small lakes and reservoirs on that area with relatively good ice fishing.
