Shawn and Quinn. I applaude your passion for the conservation of spawning rainbows on the Otter but the wheel does not have to be reinvented if your intention is to stop the bull**** right at the dam at Black Bridge. The legislation is already in place but not posted or enforced worth a **** at that dam, also known in law as a man made obstacle. Just remeber the regs we get are only a summary. The real law is in the fisheries act and it is a long and boring read believe me. Here is an exerpt from the regs we see taken from page 8 if anyone is interested.
GENERAL PROHIBITIONS – IT IS ILLEGAL TO:
Fish within 22.9 m (75 ft.) downstream from the lower entrance to any fishway or canal, obstacle, or any device designed to assist fish around an obstacle.
If you want to form an organization like the Delhi District Anglers did a long time ago then you could have a voice with the MNR, such as it is. Just expect a long frustrating relationship with this cash strapped entity.
I think where this thread went bad was with the naming of the restriction being a sanctuary.
