Other Ontario species that were caught in Quebec that are NOT counted for this contest...I could very well catch all these species in Ontario in the summer months...I know where to find them all locally...so don't be surprise when these species are added later. But these are the pics I took on my trip to Ottawa/Quebec on Jun 14-16...just so you are aware that I'm not reusing some of these pics later and claimed I caught them in Ontario. It's about honesty and sportsmanship.
