Page THE HERALD Wednetday October Ontario Outdoors Herald column at GOOD NEWS Salmon are now Inshore in small number- and oinc are even In river mouths These fish arc no starting their up river to spawn and are accessible the boating fishermen FROWNED UPON This will also create problems with trespassers as people try to get at these fish so please check the area where you intend to fish and obey no trespassing Signs SNAGGING IS ILLEGAL and never forget It Not only thai it is a very sporting way of getting a fish and I am against magging completely even though some states arc permitting it Tins will be stopped in the USA completely soon I am sure as he practice is frowned upon by many sportsmen TOPS SALMON HUNT Last week George Salter of landed a COHO that weighed in at nearly the magic 20pound mark 19 coming pretty close and as I have said many times this mark will be broken if not already by the time you read this This makes George Salter the over all leader in the Toronto Star Great Salmon Hunt contest for Lake Ontario St ill the largest fish are being taken out of Bronte but tremendous amount of 17 pound arc coming from the area off the Credit mouth As mentioned earlier these fish are now very close and the run to the fish is a lot less Rainbow and Chinook are still coming from Port although they should start showing up at Bronte and Credit in ever increasing numbers now The Rainbow Trout are expected to be quite good In the Credit River this year and if it is anything like last year at the iron bridge in it should be a very good ycarindecd lakenole of private property and act accordingly NOT HARSH It may be few weeks before the fish show this far it is well waiting for From the signs In nature that 1 have seen so far it wdl be a good fall a late setting winter but it should hang in later with a late spring The winter won t be too harsh and Ice fishing will probably not get started until a little later than usual it should be good when it starts especially on Lake Simcoc with the great numbers of Lake Trout that are stocked and seem to be reproducing FOLLOW SUIT Bethlehem Steel of New York State is spending million to clean up polutlon of their plants If others would follow suit especially in Northern Ontario could once again have a decent environment for outdoor recreation It is not too late Tor some areas and others may be regenerated I received a letter from V A on the 26th of September indicating that duck hunting will not bo allowed on Reservoir this year It was a week late lo get it Into the column last week but now you know better late than never If these decisions were made sooner and the information sent out sooner it would save a lot of confusion and disappointment for rccrcatlonlsts Apparently the Winchester Plant in is being offered for sale For those who remember the plant was originally the Cooey Arms Co plant and they were bought out by Winchester Conglomerate Now they arc going down Maybe some small
