Unfortunately, older children children and teenagers cause significant problems for Ministry Ministry of Natural Resources fish and wildlife staff each spring. Spawning fish such as yellow pickerel, muskies and rainbow trout are particularly particularly vulnerable to poaching poaching at this time of year. Accordingly, the Kawartha Lakes and their tributaries and the streams flowing into Lake Ontario remain closed to all fishing until the opening of trout season on April 26. Each spring, local youths, attempt to take these spawning spawning fish illegally by angling, netting or other prohibited means. This reduces the spawning stock and may lower the numb.er of young fish available to anglers in later years. If apprehended by Ministry fish and wildlife staff, these young offenders may end up in court. The Ministry reminds reminds all parents to ensure that their children are not involved in the illegal taking of fish this spring. alters or uses any building or structure in a manner contrary to any requirement of this By-law, of who causes or permits such use, alteration or erection, or who violates any provision of this By-law or causes or permits a violation, shall be guilty of an offense and upon conviction therefor, shall forfeit and pay a penalty, at the discretion of the convicting magistrate, not exceeding One Thousand Dollars ($1,0()0.00), exclusive of costs, for each such offense and every such penalty shall be recoverable under The Municipal Act and The Summary Convictions 'Act.
