Walleye fishing banned on Lake Scugog starting Jan 1 2016

[tweedwolfscream]

The exception in the regs summary that keeps walleye closed year round is listed as "Lake Scugog" only. The former exception that gave walleye a winter season on Scugog also applied only to the lake itself, and now it's gone. So if a spot is considered part of the river and not the lake, you can fish walleye but not until May.

Do you know how far north folks were allowed to fish for walleye in the winter? The same cutoff should now apply to the walleye fishing ban. I know that looking at the map there isn't a clear river mouth really.

For what it's worth, the provincial topo mapping seems put the lake-river boundary right where the south-facing point juts in not quite halfway between the north end of O'reilly Lane and the mouth of Mariposa Creek. If you go to Fish ON-Line, select "LIO Topo" as the map type and zoom way way in on the spot I'm talking about, you'll see what I mean.
