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.
