RE: Posession limits and fishing different bodies of water
Yes well here is where the letter of the law gets troubling... as you point out, "The possession limit is the number you are allowed to have in your possession on hand, in cold storage, in transit or anywhere." It doesn't matter if you're fishing or not! So in your Atlantic salmon example, even if that successful trip on Lake Ontario was the only fishing you did that day, just bringing the salmon to your home on the mainland puts it in a zone where there's no open season for Atlantics. Of course it sounds pretty ridiculous to think that that would constitute poaching, so maybe we're expected to understand that posession limits are based on where the fish was caught, not where it is being posessed?

I'd also disagree that it's impossible to eat 6 whitefish in a month without exceeding the MOE's recommendations, see for example their monthly consumption advisories for Gull Lake in Haliburton... http://files.ontariogovernment.ca/moe_ma...17847.html But that's a whole other discussion Smile In any case, some fish have much lower limits, eg lake trout on a conservation license, so keeping your limit might happen every time you want to eat your catch at all.
