Treat all fishes equally.

Yes .........the fishing was better in certain areas before you were born MA.

However I experienced how pretty shitty the fishing was in the Toronto and "Golden Horseshoe" areas of Southern Ontario in the early 1970's.

No salmon, just a few rainbow, no browns, lake trout were rare. Lake Erie was actually declared "Dead". Hamilton harbour was an acid dump. The Niagara River was toxic. The Grand River was basically a cesspool with both sewage and massive nutrient pollution. Acid rain was killing lakes in Northern Ontario at amazing speed.

Major improvements to fishing have occurred in this area since then.

Many are way to quick to be critical and condemning of the MNR and the efforts of the many angling groups. All this is IMPROVING THINGS.

Just this past weekend you and others participated in a program that would not be possible without MNR sanction, blessing, and support.

Things to ponder........................

Never know............might get better yet................
