If you could change/create one Fishing reg/law, what would it be?

No drinking in public charge while fishing, hunting and driving a vehicle, that's all.....

Totally on board with everyone asking for two+ rods from shore. The carp fishery in ontario is something we should promote, and judging by the setups used in europe, i'd say we could improve the way we approach shore fishing and try to get people into carp fishing by allowing more rods..

i understand most people here probably aren't carp fisherman, and that's not why they wanted two lines from shore, but this is just my reasoning on why i'd be for it 100%. more tourism, more fishing, more people taking carp out of our waters.

LOL don't forget the use of legal weed.

How about a "demerit point" system listed on your outdoor car? just like driving, any infraction will be posted. mostly useful for COs, but still a good idea, perhaps even a three strike your out system for fishing violations.

there are many applications where this kind of knowledge would be extremely helpful.

Nope, when you are stone, you are stone. When you drink you might not be drunk or even feel the alcohol.....

I can't tell anymore.....

What I meant, under two beers for example you are still good to drive and function.
With dope it's a lot more difficult to control/measure.

Not really it depends on body weight did you eat etc. I have seen people who would feel after 2 beer and I have seen people with a 12 pack in them and you would swear they were perfectly sober. The same can be said for dope.

That's true, so let's include dope too in the package....

Haha i was not expecting this thread to take us into beer and dope tolerances, but that's the fun of open-ended questions.

Right now, with the current regs, if you're walking around with a bow at night, certain conclusions can be jumped to easily by any officer in the field that he can act on safely and quickly.

The problem is not the CO s it more with OPP and Regional Police forces trying to enforce the No discharge bylaws of most communities . Are you not allowed to fish at night ? So should I be able to also as bow fishing is a legal means of taking fish .
