REPS WIN 3# a# n DP TICKETS "(The tournament) brings a lot of attention to recreational fishing," said David Angas, presiâ€" dent of Oakvilleâ€"based Canadian Fishing Adventures Inc., the largest charter boat operator on the Great Lakes. "We benefit from any sort of promotion and the Salmon Hunt is the biggest event of its kind," said Angas. Apart from the excitement generâ€" ated by the prospect of winning TCas thousands of dollars worth of cash and prizes, the event, considered one of the world‘s largest fishing tournaments, also has ecoâ€" nomic spinâ€"offs for the host communitiesâ€"â€" including Oakville. Carson said the event brings thousands of people to the community. In turn, those individuâ€" als spend untold amounts of money on gas, food and fishing supplies. The event, which runs until Aug. 27, also means a brisk business for several charter boat companies based in Oakville. "It‘s an awfully big lake and it can be hard to find a fish if you‘re just a beginner," added Mike Elioff, who own Mega Charters of Oakville. Elioff said even experienced fishermen occaâ€" sionally like to charter boats "as a kind of refresher course." housands of anglers will . take to the waters of Lake Ontario starting this weekâ€" end to vie for more than $500,000 in cash and prizes as part of the 15th annual Toronto Star Great Salmon Hunt. "We‘ve had our fair share of winners caught in this part of the lake," said Rich Carson, owner of Bronte Home Hardware, a designated weigh station for the event for the past 11 years. "We‘ve had people from all over the world come here." Try our tasty Chicken Fajitas! Here‘s a tasty treat for July... Chicken Fajitas.

AND THE, NEX ,, . AND THE NEXT., . AND THE NEXT: $500,000 in prizes is only one reason to enjoy salmon fishing Last year, more than 300 fishingâ€"related charges were laid in the Lake Ontario district, the majority of them for fishing without license or having more than one line in the water, said MNR spokesman Ken Snowden, a conservation officer for Halton Region. Of course, fishing from shoreâ€"â€"particularly Bronte Pierâ€"â€" is also popular, although your chances are increased considerably come fall, when the salmon come in to spawn. o matter where you drop a line, an Ontario fishing license is mandatory for individuals between the ages off 18 and 65. Seasonal fishing licenses are availâ€" able for $15 at area sporting goods and hardware stores. This does not include a $6 "outdoor card" that fishermen now require. And be warned: Ministry of Natural Resources conservation officers, in conjunction with police, will be on the lookout for offenders. Entrants are also advised to make sure the charter boat company is a member of the Ontario Charter Boat Association, which sets out certain criteria for its members to ensure customer safety and satisfaction. The cost of chartering a boat ranges between $60 and $75 per person for a sixâ€"hour period. The price includes fishing equipment, tackle and bait. It may be smart to book well in advance during the tournament. Not many people know that salmon are actuâ€" ally indigenous to Lake Ontario. But those are (or were) Atlantic Salmon, which gradually disâ€" appeared through by the 1960s due to "habitat degradation," Snowden said. Prizes will also be awarded for the heaviest rainbow and brown trout. Weekly contests will again be a Great Salmon Hunt mainstay. Eight such miniâ€"derbies offer 40 prizes every seven days for a total of $230,000. And somewhere in Lake Ontario is a specially â€" tagged salmon worth $100,000 to one lucky fishâ€" ermen. But before you‘re eligible for any of these prizes, you have to obtain an entry form at least one day before fishing. Much of this was caused by an influx of aleâ€" wives â€"â€"or "shiners"â€"â€" large scavenger minnows. See SALMON HUNT, Page 21 llflg A complete list of fishing regulaâ€" tions are available free from any licensing office. Fishermen also might want to pick up the 1993â€"94 guide to eating sportfish in Ontario; particularly if it‘s from Lake Ontario. > P I ‘The grand prize for the Great Salmon Hunt, awarded to the person who lands the largest Chinook over the eightâ€"week period, includes a pickâ€"up truck, boat, engine, trailer and thousands of dollars worth of fishing equipment. A grand draw prize, nearly identical to the grand prize, will also be awarded to an entrant who enters a salmon, rainbow or brown trout over the 10â€"pound qualifying weight. Poachers have also been known to use nets, flashlights and spears and even encroach on the yearâ€" round sanctuary along Bronte Creek, from Lakeshore Rd to Rebecca St. Conservation officers have the power to seize a car or boat for offenses, he added.
