Fishing Rights Erroded

"Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty—power is ever stealing from the many to the few"
~Wendell Phillips

Our fishing rights are being erroded! Every day we see new threats to our recreational activity and for some their livelyhood. Here are 3 stories from just this spring that will change the way we fish. Some of these are just test cases that will allow other municipalities to put severe limits on our fishing.  If the city of London goes ahead with their Forks of the Thames revitalization plan, we must make sure that our fishing rights are guarded.


1. Loss of fishing grounds in Woodstock, Ontario
Southside Pond Lost

2. Loss of fishing grounds in Toronto, Ontario
Toronto Harbour

3. Loss of bait fish in Ontario
The MNR is looking at severely restricting the use, harvesting and transportation of bait fish.

Keep vigilant, talk to your MPP and city councilors, make sure they know that our fishing is an issue we will vote on.
