Lac Suel regs.

[jeffster]

I have a question for you lac suel guys and gails, a friend just got back from there and he told me he got a ticket for having a live fish in his livewell. I looked in the Ontario Regulations booklet and could not find anything to support the ticket. Is this a regulation that is writing or just one of those unwriten rules.

thanks

Go here, it will explain that rule. I took the Picture when i was at LacSeul in August. Possession of Live Game Fish was prohibited.

Thanks Kyle for your help on this. The picture sure makes it easyer then just someone telling you the reg's.

thanks again

It is in the regs. The regs are very clear, but they are broke out into different segments for Ontario, each having specific differences. It's kind of confusing to find stuff at first, but once you get used to how they lay out their booklet it gets easier to use. I almost made the same mistake the first time I went up there many years ago. A guy at the dock just about had a tizzie when I started pulling all these live walleyes out of my well and throwing them into a cooler. Didn't press mother luck again though as they don't give warnings...

One reason we did conversions to our livewells. This is probably going to be more common in the future. It was too tough to stop the cullers. I took some of that stiff blue insulation board, and double-faced taped it to the inside walls of the livewell. I left chanels for the water to drain out. Now I fill it with ice in the morning and it keeps my soft drinks and fish cold and fresh and the ice lasts all day. Kill, cut out the throat and place head-down into the ice.

Jeffster,

This is definately a written rule. It is in the regulations! I believe this is an excellent rule, and you are going to see the same thing on many other waterbodies in Ontario soon, according to the MNR. Lac seul has many particular regulations, as it constitutes it's own district (with regard to fishing).

Most of the resorts furnish coolers and ice for this purpose. The owners and staff usually tell you right up front.
