dave524 Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) This would only apply to Town Parks, basically south of the 401, parkland that is property of the Conservation Authority, like Sylvan Glenn would not fall under this, or am I wrong ?

DRIFTER_016 Posted February 23, 2017 Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 At least you can still fish the mouth. I did the bulk of my fall fishing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloatnFly Posted February 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2017 (edited) Was there a fine, for breaking the new law? Amount? my guess would be trepassing or fishing in a no fishing zone. it was being patrolled by MNR as well as Port Hope Police last year basically 24 hours a day Edited February 23, 2017 by FloatnFly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
