Houseboat parking restrictions

[tv4fish]

Guys: We have been informed that the MNR has decided to restrict where houseboats can be parked on Lac Seul.

Any of you know WHERE these restricted areas are???

I have tried to find any info. on the MNR regulations with no luck...........

Sounds rather "fishy", can there be some sort of problem being created by mere parking? I'm assuming this is an overnight camping restriction.

Who is telling you this? I would think your outfitter could answer your concerns...

According to our outfitter you are not allowed to park anywhere south of Taylor Island if you are not a Canadian resident.

Has anyone seen this posted on any HB outfitter’s website? It seems to be a new regulation ? In my past experience, never really saw HB’s moored south of Taylor Island unless they were taking an overnight stay close to Hudson on a Thursday/Friday so they could leave pretty early from the docks the next morning.

Maybe driven by the lodges at the lower end of Lac Seul ?. I would love to hear the rational behind it.

I just returned last Saturday. The pilot driving our LSFL Houseboat said no more parking south of Taylor Island for Non Canadians, unless it's a one night return stay in Morning Bay. I don't know if that's his perception of a rule or fact. Now, Andrea (LSFL) didn't say anything to us about this but, we had planned to stay on Taylor Island so maybe no need? That's what I heard and know, not saying it's factual, just what I was told.


As for the fishing, no so good. Haze from the fires and all the Mayfly's didn't help. Our group totals were down about 20%.


Can't wait to go back.

It may be tied with the non resident crown land camping restrictions. A houseboat moored to shore may be defined as camping. Just guessing.

It was common to see houseboats parked on the east side of banana island (3 miles south of Taylor island) in the past. I was almost as far as Taylor island one day a couple of weeks ago and did not see any parked at banana on the way through.

Could be as you stated. I’m not sure at all as I haven’t taken a HB trip in that neck of the woods since 2006.
