Ontario’s new fishing regulations are getting a lukewarm reception from the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters.
The regulations were released last week, and are supposed to be easier for anglers to understand.
Greg Ferrant is a spokesperson for the OFAH and feels in some cases the regulations have been simplified too much.
N006 Q: …the zones. (23 secs.)
Ferrant says they had asked the federal governent to delay the implementation of the new fishing regulations, because they wanted more time to consult with the Ministry of Natural Resources.
As a result, the new regs took a year longer than expected to gain approval from the Ministry of Fisheries and Oceans.
