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

Truer and truer everyday

what about mandatory ice picks while ice fishing??? certainly a good idea for under 18.

I wouldn't mind an early catch and release season on bass from ice out till June 1st then close till July 1st. I would like to see my Ontario licence valid on bordering waters like Erie, Ontario, detriot River etc... When it comes to walleye, they seem to be the highest targeted species and the most harvested. I'd like to see more slot limits and lower possession limits including a trophy size that must be released. My cottage lake in the parry sound area at one time was one of the best walleye lakes in Ontario, and clearly is no longer due to over harvesting and I know there are many lakes in same situation.

Just my wish list

I think the ban on bows at night might be to save human lives.

Anyway, new one to add... since dogs are allowed for hunting for certain species/areas, why not for fishing?

Funny! I saw a guy who stopped his big Newfoundland dog from pulling salmon out of the creek because he was afraid the dog would be hurt by all the hooks the snaggers leave in the salmon.

The more I think about using two rods from shore the more I like it. It would not change limits or slot sizes.

BAHHAHAHAHA that's amazing

I would LOVE to see a bait ban on most waters and a C&R policy on all steelhead/browns out of the lake.
I'll throw in a province-wide barbless vote as well

Sorry.. a little unclear there TS, I was referring to migratory rainbows and browns that have exited the Great Lakes. The harvesting for roe alone is gross to see..... perhaps if there was a mandatory C&R anglers would become better spoon fishermen :)

there will never be a ban for c/r they been trying it for a year in port hope for salmon with no help from any organization .. the towns next step is to not allow anyone to fish on there property if things don't cool down this summer ... they tried to get help but no one helped so next is no fishing

I'd like to see a ban on C/R as they have started implementing in Europe - Sweden and Germany have already done this.
