I think it's a good idea not to allow the bait transfer from south to north.

I completely agree with the proposed restrictions on baitfish and actually think they should be a little more restrictive. Too many lakes are getting perch and bass that only had trout before. Once the harm is done it cannot be undone easily.

This new live bait proposal will have an adverse affect on many Ontario residents & tourist not to mention people in the bait business. Many commercial bait dealers have to get their bait in different zones. Now they won't be able to do this.

As a commercial bait harvester in BMZD I feel we should have the right to transfer bait to all other BMZ's. There has never been a problem in our BMZ as far as movement of bait and /or VHS problems.

In regards to the harvesting of baitfish and the development of the Strategic Policy for Bait Management I would like to register my comments and concerns as outlined below to be considered in the proposed policy #012-9791.

Fishing is suppose to be a relaxing pastime ,you are making it so complicated it will no
longer be worth the effort. I cannot afford to purchase Bait so harvest my own,if this is
no longer allowed I will quit fishing.

It is okay to restrict bait movement to the fisheries management zone but this will cause problems for commercial bait harvesters and outfitters who use or reside near the boundaries and use more than one zone. It is important to allow anglers to harvest their own bait.

Banning the use of minnows/leeches in areas where there are no natural barriers such as waterfalls or rapids and also where there are no manmade barriers such as dams or electric barriers is nonsensible as the minnows /leeches native to these waterways can move uninterrupted into and from such ar

This would be an outrage in our area as we are surrounded by Provincial Parks. This would ruin the tourism in our area as well as the businesses.

Species of bait fish have already been selected. Why care where they are used. VHS is a red herring for our area. What about blue baby death syndrome?

I understand that reducing the threat posed by invasive species is good. However, the southern boundary between BMZ A and BMZ D in northeastern Ontario should be farther south.

I strongly disagree with the boundaries between BMZA and BMZD.I strongly object to the banning of bait in Provincial Parks, particularly Waterways Parks. Senior citizen who still loves to fish.

As an avid fisherman I am opposed to the implementation of the bait restrictions proposed by the MNRF. These restrictions would greatly affect not only recreational fisherman but also tourist outfitters and other businesses that rely on the sport fishing industry.

As a member of the FMZ 11 Advisory Committee I appreciate that the effort put into the policy for bait management. I understand that the industry is worth $23 million dollars to the provincial economy however the magnitude of the economic risk dwarfs its value.

Possession Limits ; Why restrict fly -in fishermen to 10 dozen if they have a receipt from a bait dealer showing the date and amount purchased. Sticklebacks; Banning as a baitfish is like banning mosquitos. They are present in great numbers and impossible to prevent.
