New
Fishing Regulations
You may have
heard that the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) have been planning for
changes to the regulations. There are a few changes to our
fishing regulations this year. The biggest change for our guests will be
for pickerel/walleye. With a sport licence the limit is now 4 (instead
of 6) with only one fish being larger that 18.1 inches. A conservation
licence limit is still 2 however with only one being larger that 18.1 inches
Please check our web site (Home page, Fishing
Season link)
for a direct link to the MNR web site.
Again this year
we are going to be an official Weigh / Recording station for the Buckhorn
District Tourist Association’s Big Fish Contest. Enter your catches
with us and you could win a plaque for the biggest Walleye (Pickerel),
Muskie, Largemouth Bass, Small mouth Bass, Crappie, Perch or Carp.
Fishing is open till November 15th, 2009 Some of the biggest fish
of last year were caught in the Fall. They get hungry right before the
winter.
