Yeah bout the same size here. For some reason I thought they got bigger on Simcoe

They 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

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.

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.

Ø Season: Jan 1-March 15th and 2nd Sat in May-Sept 30th
Ø Limit: Sport Fishing Licence: 2, Conservation Licence: 1
Ø 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/fishing
Ø 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).
