glad we got that cleared upI am only talking about the Misner Dam. There had been no work mentioned on the top end dam in the last 10 years from what I have had a chance to read through.

guess i'll go for a drive to have another look----so i know what i'm talking about rather then depending on memoryThere are some silt retention below the top dam that have been studied and scheduled for a impact study. Converting the Misner Dam to a bottom draw was considered to high of a safety risk for others users if they fell in above the Misner Dam. The right side has a portion lower than the main portion but this is not fish accessible and was never intended to allow fish access. But who knows maybe a fish could jump 30 feet in the air and make it over.
Damn right they don't want people coming to town who arent local! 40 years ago it was frowned upon to leave garbage on the river bank, and now its just been accepted. Sure everyone wants to act like a hero and complain about it but who do you actually see picking garbage up other than locals? Last time I was down at Misners fishing steelies I seen a guy come down with his custom pin and rod, rocking his ugly looking brown trout sweater and simms waders, etc. Anything you could name that guy had. I thought he was about to show me what was up, but instead I watched him smoke 3 or 4 cigarettes, toss the butts into the river, and call it a day. Just goes to show you that people are lazy and only think about themselves, and take for granted what awesome fishing we have here in Ontario.Seems more and more places do not want the tourist etc. Look at what’s going on Lake Simcoe on the west side of the lake and to the north. Like a $100 to launch and park your truck and trailer if you’re not from the area. I spoke with a hut operator on the east side and he said they do not plan on following suit like the west side of the lake.
What was his facebook name anyways? I'd like to see the petition.The same asshole that keeps every fish he catches on the pier.
