To the editor:?
I must say I definitely agree and have first hand evidence that fishing restrictions are hurting Ontario tourism.
Being a operator of White Wolf Resort in Geraldton, I received a call from a long-standing customer from Ohio. He wanted to let me know that he and his group of fishing buddies, eight in total, would not be coming this year.
This man had been coming to fish pike in our area for more than 20 years.
He said the last few years of changes in the size and limit finally convinced them to stop coming to Ontario.
His comment was “they’re pike for God’s sake.” He said it had nothing to do with anything else, he loved the area and accommodations, however, to drive this far to catch a few small pike was just not worth the trip anymore.
