Anglers need to stay on top of their local fishing regulations with every current and upcoming season. With the help of scientific research, the rules and regulations change on an annual basis.

Some of those changes are what we would refer to as a positive in that the MNRF is essentially giving anglers “more” to work with. An example would be an extended season, an additional number of fish that can be retained for eating purposes.

Other changes are what we call heads-up in where you better know the law because if you do not, and you are still going by what you “thought” was legal, you may indeed be breaking the current fishing laws.

In there I was talking about the new Carp proposals and I said they were looking at being placed into zone 20 when in fact, it is written in the new regs for “certain Fisheries Management Zones”.

“I know this is not a big deal” continues Pete “but I do want to correct my wording”.
