New Musky regs for Ontario zone 5?

[Ia Walihntr]

A friend of mine and his group just got back from a week's musky fishing on Eagle Lake. They were told by the camp owner that new MNR regulations prohibited boating a musky that was under the minimum size limit, that the hook must be removed while the fish was in the water, and in theory, eliminating CPR for muskys. I checked the regs book for zone 5 and could not verify this. Was the resort owner acting on his own sense of fish conservation or am I missing something in regulations. Also, if I am missing something, is this "new regulation" in effect on Lake of the Woods as well?
Thanks in advance,
Marv

I have heard of this "brewing" for several years. It wouldn't surprise me if the MNR added this to the regulations. Enforcement would be difficult!

IMHO - I am all for this. That might not be popular, but I went barbless and only water releases seven years ago. Just my personal preference. Everyone has to make there own choices. Some of my best friends disagree with me and I respect that.
