I am an avid fisherman on Lake of the Woods. Fishing has actually improved in the last couple of years because I would suggest the fish stock is up. If there is a goal to protect the species, more effort and expense should be spent on the Ministry doing enforcement of fishing regulations for those that poach versus than penalizing those that follow the limits will go much further to protect the health of the population. I have been fishing this lake regularly for 25 years. I’ve never been stopped or seen an enforcement officer. Think about that. 25 years fishing 30 times per year. That’s 1,875 fishing days where an inspection has not taken place. That is the problem.
