Illegal to shore fish in Toronto Harbour !!

[OldTimer]

Exactly MikeH..........

I know from personal experience the pain of having treble hooks removed that were embedded deeply in the back of my skull by the wild cast of some clown on the Bronte pier. However - I would not bann fishing there if it were up to me.

Safety always comes first. But as you say - extents of casting hazards are quite variable by time and location.

- but right is right.......... I believe that it is important that all strive to maintain all freedoms (not just fishing) we have, as much and as long as possible (including keeping a fish now and then) - once rules are set they rarely revert.

As you - I too hope the motion carries and is widely publicized - it will send a very clear signal to many. It sure won't hurt!

Cheers,
