I'm hoping beyond hope that no members from here were involved but rumour has it some folks got busted for fishing pickerel in Magnetawan in the fish sanctuary . Had fish too . Come on there are even signs posted and many of the spawners are milked to stock other lakes . Very bad .
TD
Shame on them. Small town, word will come out soon enough who it was.
I notice the MNR is posting signs in Chinese and Korean along the fish sanctuary rivers which didn't open until yesterday.
glad they got caught.....
Ooops!
Well it wasn't locals . We know better . At one time the MNR would even sit there at night to make sure nobody took them during the spawn .
TD
The MNR may still be sitting there. You may not see them but they may be watching you!!
Well maybe the ghosts of game wardens . LOL Not much money available for that kind of stuff now . Sad but true . And the TIPS line ?Quote:

That's what I thought too.... but I have never seen them as much as this spring at the local marina. They are checking every boat that is launching or returning.Quote:

Funny only Hudak is being labelled the grim reaper

At the end of the day, the MNRs budget has been going in the wrong direction for years. Irrespective any other considerations.
Population growth, Urban sprawl, more and more strains on the resources.
Yet, the MNR has been been gutted thoughtout time. And that is definately one area, I doubt anyone and we can all agree shouldnt be trimmed any further, in fact, its past time that area get a little love.

Name the last administration that poured a lot of money into it
I cant JBen
there seems to be money when they need it .. the lake ontario management unit spent over a million on a new boat last year and there were rivers this spring that had 6 officers night and day patrolling it during the spring trout opening. it seems to be money if you scream loud and long enough. if the mnr would stop outsourcing all its jobs and programs they could have more money

Kind of sad when you think how much Ontario has changed since the 90s, let alone the mid 70s, when really, Davis was the last to show "love". Kind of ironic to think it 1980 when I was acepted to Sir Sanford Flemming and had big dreams of being a CO :)Quote:
For the fiscal year ending March 31, 2011, the Ontario government’s total planned operating budget was approximately $119 billion, a 72 per cent increase since 1992/1993. During that same period, however, MNR’s operating budget (including MNDMF’s forestry program) declined by 22 per cent and MOE’s budget dropped by 45 per cent (in 2009 constant dollars).
