Imagine you're out on Lake Simcoe or other Lake or off the Pier with a line in the water. It's a great day to be fishing.

All of a sudden, you're approached by an MNR Officer. You have what you think is the necessary paperwork, including your fishing licence. Then you're asked about your bait. Where's it from? Where'd you buy it? Do you have a receipt?

Proposed changes is the creation of Bait Management Zones. Anglers and Commercial Operators will only be allowed to move their bait within a specific zone, meaning bait which was harvested in your County could not be transplanted to other areas of the province, with a few exceptions.

Here's the Headlines.

It seems like it is for the preservation of the ecosystems and what not.
