Beavertail Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I can picture it now...all the guys playing dumb keeping too many whities, claiming they thought were Cisco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappieperchhunter Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 (edited) pike bait how big do they get on simcoe? Most of the ones I get perch fishing are between 10-14 inches. Very annoying some days. You can't even get your bait through them to get to the perch on the bottom Edited December 19, 2014 by crappieperchhunter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joeytier Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 Yeah bout the same size here. For some reason I thought they got bigger on SimcoeThey grow to gargantuan sizes on Nipissing for some reason. I would say the majority are 15-21 inches. Good news for the simcoe guys though. I'll have to try pickling a fish or two this winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Pike Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I heard that this was being considered buy the MNR but I couldn't find any official report that cisco season will reopen at any time specifically.

NAW Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 I am interested in trying a Simcoe herring. I've had Nippising herring before, but wasn't a big fan. The ones on Simcoe are long and skinny compared to the fatties on Nip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmer Posted December 19, 2014 Report Share Posted December 19, 2014 They should leave them closed. They will get abused/overharvested whatever.. However, it might be a good way for the MNR to make extra $$$$. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Pike Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) Thanks Terry. That's why I couldn't find anything online yet. Without knowing the limits and such until I get a hardcopy in my hands, at first blush, I think it's great news. If the science says a harvest is ok now, then I'm all for it. I remember back in the day, having a couple of Cisco mixed in with a cooler of perch to take home, clean( arghhh ), and enjoy. Nice to have those days back.

misfish Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 They should leave them closed. They will get abused/overharvested whatever.. However, it might be a good way for the MNR to make extra $$$$. Over harvested? 2 LIMIT SPORT AND 1 LIMIT CON. I think the biggest charges that will come from people not knowing the dif. Then again we will hear,didnt know the dif. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Pike Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 I remember they were considering an aggregate limit. In other words: 2 whitefish.. or 2 herring.. or 1 whitefish and 1 herring. This would eliminate the confusion between the two. I'm guessing that's not the case? Gotta get me a hardcopy of the regs!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Posted December 20, 2014 Report Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) when in doubt herring smile whitefish pout so when in doubt check it out Ø Season: Jan 1-March 15th and 2nd Sat in May-Sept 30thØ Limit: Sport Fishing Licence: 2, Conservation Licence: 1Ø The above seasons and limits are identical to two other popular coldwater species in the lake – Lake Whitefish and Lake Trout.Ø The new season and limits can be seen on page 81 (bottom right in red) of the newly released 2015 Recreational Fishing Regulations Summary. www.ontario.ca/fishingØ For management purposes Lake Simcoe includes Lake Couchiching and tributaries as identified on page 81 as above.Ø On page 10 it lists cisco (lake herring) along with baitfish species which have a licenced angler limit of 120 for personal possession. This applies in most other areas of the province, but NOT on Lake Simcoe where the total possession limit of cisco is 2 (Sport Licence) and 1 (Conservation).
