Illegal to shore fish in Toronto Harbour !!

[MikeH]

I discussed this with Wil Wegman at MNR over email last year when I posted the topic over at OFF. If the TPA were to enforce this, then the Toronto Islands would also be a no fishing zone. Plus the MNR would be actively encouracging criminal behaviour with their open fishing family days at Ontario Place, which is also inside TPA boiundarys.

the City of Toronto fishing bylaw specifies that any no fishing zone in a public park must display the Toronto bylaw sign.

The Renta-cops along the harbourfront are their to keep people off the harbour moorings and jettys which are private property. The only people to watch out for at the harbourfront centre staff who contacted Wil Wgman directly asking of they could have harbourfront centre property as no fishing zone.

The proposed redevelopment of the Don Valley estuary includes recreational fishing opportunites, even though it would be at the heart of the TPA zone.
