I understand that you are protective of your local pond, but does the punishment actually fit the crime? A man wants to spend several hours of his time to catch a few fish, maybe for his dinner, when it is probably more cost effective and safer to buy them at the grocery store, and you want him prosecuted or fined several hundred dollars? That's harsh justice for intruding on your pond, IMO.

If he wants to spend those hours fishing legally he can go right ahead. If you witnessed a shooting would you call the police? It's a crime right... But what if he was just getting back at the guy for attacking his family? Should we feel bad for him and hold off on calling the police? NO. Is fishing with three rods in the water a crime? YES. So do what you're supposed to do and report him.

It seems like you enjoy stirring things up on this forum? You go completely against what should be the obvious correct answer... (opening day fun, anyone?). If you feel so much against this rule CALL THE MNR!!?? Jeez.

Ignorance....
