Fishing around Brampton, Ontario

[MuskieBait]

Yeah...I just saw that too...

The difference here is that although it is a public park, the park is managed by City of Brampton...when then is a different kettle lake of fish...

Looking at this issue deeper...

From the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act...

Sorry...that's just how the chip falls...I guess.

But as a resident of Brampton, you can certainly challenge those By-law as OT pointed out...with the help of your local representative. That's what we have done in Toronto by challenging Toronto Park and Rec and actually had the No Fishing signs revoked.
