RE: Walleye fishing banned on Lake Scugog starting Jan 1 2016
Thing is, walleye were introduced to Scugog in the 1920s-1940s for the sole purpose of creating a recreational fishery. Sorry to import the nativeness philosophical debate from the other thread, but it seemed MuskieBait would agree with me about deliberate recreational purpose introductions. It wouldn't bother me on an eco-philosophical level if they just let folks fish these non-native walleye to extirpation, but I'm sure there are well-established businesses that have come to depend on Scugog walleye. Trouble is, of course, how is closing the fishing season any better for them than running out of fish? OFAH is complaining in the articles that without well-defined benchmarks the walleye season will never re-open, and there's probably some truth to that, so what are we gaining here? Saving a remnant population of fish that isn't part of the natural community, and isn't accessible to anglers either?
In short, I'd be totally behind closing a recreational fishery for the sake of a threatened ecosystem component... but it seems more like we're closing a recreational fishery for the sake of said recreational fishery. I don't know much about Scugog, so feel free to pick this post apart and show me how I'm wrong. |
