Lake trout regulations

[Oarin]

I will be too RHYBAK. I hope the Game Cops take into account that this will be for many of us our first time doing it and it may not be pretty. As far as the slot, I really don't mind. It has to help the health of the lake. The new method of filleting may be slower, but with a slot limit it makes sense. Unfortunately, using the "old way" there are people who would make big fish look smaller and break the law, so we all pay the price. 122 more days until the outpost cabin with my son !! 162 to my trip with my friend Jim !!

I have a fool proof method to solve this uncertainty.

Throw them all back.

Lake Trout I throw back, but those walleye are just too tasty  and I like to take a few home.
It is the only walleye fishing I do in the year.

 Hi Rhybak. Your on Lake Muskoka right? A friend of mine from work has a place on that lake. Somewhere near the light house, He's telling me he's starting to catch lots of Walleye in that lake, that they're making a comeback. Maybe you gotta start looking for them there again....just a thought.

[RHYBAK]

No, I'm on Lake Joseph.
They are in the lake but I could never find them.
I might concentrate a bit more on looking for them this year.

Lake Muskoka is full of them, as is Rosseau

Ahhhh, interesting. I thought all 3 lakes had similar populations of walleye. Or other species for that matter. Thx bro

We built a spawning shoal in Muskoka River near BB falls about 12 years ago. The lake has had amazing results. Looking at building another shoal in Indian River. MNR said it will be as good as BOQ within next few years. People are starting to find out and hopefully they don't destroy the fishery.

How cool. Maybe a couple of thosr on the Kipawa River could make an awesome fishery even better.

I have heard the regs as of today from one of the outfitters.  The thing is you will find out for sure when u get your license.  It is really important to clean your fish the right way.  May weekend last year they had a road block set up at the bridge going to Ontario.  The Quebec ministry checked every car that had an Ontario plate.  I talked to them and they told me most of the fines were for the Walleye not being cleaned as per the regs.  Be careful!

Thanks for the warning of fish cops roadblock RiverRat. 
If they're stopping all Ontario plates, I know they'll stop my US-Texas plates.  I just hope they speak English this time, unlike the last time I was stopped, on the Maniwaki road where gravel turned to asphalt.
