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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
