" True, so in practice, you end up keeping one fish per day. I'm not sure how many folks would eat a fish in summer with no refrigeration that was caught the previous day.
timatkn	04/23/2014 11:08PM You are correct Joe. T
joewildlife	04/23/2014 09:43PM "Lead Sinkers and Jigs – It is illegal to use or possess lead fishing sinkers or jigs in Canada’s National Parks and National Wildlife Areas. Further information is available at http://www.cws-scf. ec.gc.ca/flf-psp/index_e.cfm" I just read/realized that Quetico is a PROVINCIAL park, and thus, there is not a lead ban. Do I understand that right? Joe

fishguts	04/20/2014 11:53AM So... here is the Ontario zone 5 conservation licence limits for ALL species: Bass smallmouth 2 under 13.8 inches & largemouth Northern 2 under 29.5 inches Lake Trout 1; no size limit Walleye & sauger 2 not more than 1 greater than 18.1 inches Whitefish 6 Crappie 5 Yellow Perch 25 Sunfish 25
PINETREE	04/18/2014 09:29PM It sounds like 2014 northern pike greater than 29.5 inches can not be kept at anytime. Limits the same. Use to also be a no keep slot from 27.6 to 35.4 inches. Bass limit was changed early part of season to 4 for sportsmen license 2 for conservation license(use to be half that for respective license)-length is still less than 13.8 inches from Jan. 1 to June 30th. Also a violation in Ontario or Minnesota on a fish or wildlife violation is considered a violation in both than. What they are saying if you violate a Ontario fishing law like over the limit in Ontario, Minnesota enforcement will honor the Ontario law and help prosecute if necessary.
