Why this Ontario angler plans to keep his fishing spot secret, despite Freedom of Information request
Mike Borger loves to fish — and normally, he loves to share the locations of his favourite fishing spots with others, on his website Canada Fishing Guide.

But where one particularly amazing trout-fishing spot is concerned, Borger has been less forthcoming. To date, all he has revealed is that it's on a remote lake inside Ontario's Algonquin Park.

That's terribly frustrating for some other anglers. In fact, it's been so frustrating for one fellow angler that they filed a Freedom of Information request demanding Borger go public with his private spot.
 

As It Happens guest host Piya Chattopadhyay spoke with Borger about why he plans to keep the lake a secret — to protect his business and the fragile fish population. Here is part of their conversation.

How did you find out there is someone out there who filed a Freedom of Information request on you?

I received a five-page letter from the Ministry of Natural Resources Information Management Section, just outlining this request from the private individual and then suggesting that they would like my input on the matter so they could make a decision.
