They encourage at almost all time for catch for retain, when possible.

anyway...

Just keep getting out to your local area regularly, if you see someone doing something wrong, dont argue with them...

Take a picture if possible and report it to them MNR tips line...

or crimestoppers tips line..

once the report has been made on the tips line, I can help you to get in contact personally with a CO, if its needed...

There are allot of already started progams out there..

The MNR cannot ask someone to only practise catch and release unless a proper study has been made and they spend allot of money on changing legislation.

The problem with the rouge system is not the amount of fishermen, or what their practises are...
The problem is habitat and water current.

But It would take a advocacy group to create educational signage about how delicate our ecosystem is.

As you are stating youd like to see a change in the education of the public around you...

Just keep what your doing continue to frequent your local areas of concern, watch out for people that might not be doing what is right.
Get your friends out with you...

your on the right step....

Thanks Jeremy! It's nice to see support.

BTW I was thinking about this for a while. Would any Robinson Creek activity have to be approved by the MNR because I was thinking about organizing a meetup next summer where we could all get in hip waders and try to remove the old beaver dams, stick buildups, and other existing garbage and blockage in the river. It would help with proper water flow and movement, and it would also help the upstream movement of spawning fish.

(I'm not talking about the entire river by the way, because that would be a lot, but I think we can do it in parts. I know there's quite a few where I'm at.)

Start getting the group together,
when the time comes, we can get a field day setup with ONTARIO STREAMS, they will give you the support you need to LEGALLY do work in the stream.

doing anywork in a river aside from garbage removal must be done with special permissions and permits.
