Awesome!!!!    MNR is going to be handing out a lot of tickets this season LOL!

if they don't have the man power to enforce the fishing regulations how can they have the man power to enforce the new sanctuary....... I am all for this but this was a dirty deed done by the town of port hope. they failed at ever turn last year that was set up in 2016 and this new council and new staff dropped the ball and last year made it the worst I ever seen I think they did it on purpose

It's much easier to enforce an outright sanctuary, than try to enforce whether people are snagging or flossing fish (and other illegal methods). You're near the river with a fishing rod...pretty simple, you get a ticket. Period. There's no grey area, where a CO would have to examine every fish to see if it was legally hooked, and observe the unlawful act in person. It should be effective in shutting it down, just like you never see anyone fishing there between January and April under the current  reg's.

OMNR's rationale for the closure is to protect the largest run of wild Chinook in Ontario. Although there are obviously social factors that were involved in making this decision, it's being done under the guise of conservation.

That is good news.  The last couple years that I have watched, that definitely was not fishing, but a slaughter fest with people that were fishing showing no respect for the fish/outdoors.   Majority should have been outright fined or banned.

Realistically, I don’t think I’ve met a legitimate angler to this day that has partook in that run because it’s literally a frigging gong show. Normal outdoorsman typically have no interest in standing shoulder to shoulder with a bunch of guys blatantly committing fishing violations while twisting their lures around their tackle.
