3 of the 4 nets found were anchored and unattended. Not cut loose, not sabotaged.

Yikes.
How long before theres some confrontations over this?
there is only one way to control this kind of waste and disrespect,,, who ever may be responsible...native or otherwise....
BAN THE USE OF GILL NETS!!
gill nets are non selective harvesting. size, quantity, species ect ect. its what clear cutting is to logging/forestry.
wake up MNR! pull your balls outta your purse and do whats right for the resource!
it sucks that the natives are ruining a once thriving fishery
Treaty rights are a federal issue and im not sure that MNR has any ability to ban the commercial use of gillnets under those rights.Quote:

Such a shame. What lake will they move to next after killing Nipp?
Talon or NosbonsingQuote:

This is not a treaty right as I understand it. The commercial fishing was brought in and it should be taken away.
Remember this next time you buy a Pikeral dinner, you are supporting this crap.
Wynne doesn't card about anywhere other than the Golden Horseshoe so this won't be given any priority.
