Premier Says Fishing Season Won't Be Delayed
Despite COVID-19, fishing season will open as normal in Ontario.
That’s the word from Premier Doug Ford.
However, Ford is encouraging organizers of fishing derbies and tournaments to cancel their events this year.
“Fishing will still be open, but the fishing derbies, we’re requesting, we’re not putting an order in, but I think it’s common sense, we don’t want the fishing derbies to happen.”
With some boat launches closed, (City of Dryden launches remain open), Ford is encouraging anglers to get out, mind their personal distances, and fish from shore.
“If people want to make sure of their social distance and they are on the shore and they want to throw a reel and a hook in the water, than by all means, as long as they focus on the social distancing rules.”
Ford says he doesn’t see any issue of going outside and getting some fresh air as long as you are following the rules.
Walleye season is scheduled to start the third Saturday in May.
that is really not necessary since fishing is a sport perfect for social distancing.....and it could easily be pulled off.
They think by just cancelling everything under the sun....it will be covered....but nope....still talking about the massive second wave....when the first one was not anywhere near what they made it out to be....
everyone still covidosing?????
