This is good news for sure. We need more enforcement, and the MNR needs more money.smitty55 wrote:Just a word of caution to anyone out ice fishing. This applies to any popular lake I would figure. Just because the MNR is short staffed doesn't mean that they're not out there checking on fishermen. As I was told, just last weekend they were on White Lake and apparently made some real good money laying out a fair number of fines, the cheapest one being $200. One guy was nailed for having a Pickerel 1/4" over the slot size, at least one other for too many lines and several others for other offenses including booze. So if your fish is close to the slot size limit, you better be real sure of your measurements. And at least hide your beer. Even in a shack it's still a bit of a grey area. Be careful.

And now I know which White Lake it is...............and Cedar Cove sounds like a gem.
