Winter Spec Lakes

[Guest fishing101]

Does anybody know if Sunset Lake in Lismore township and Penicin Lake up the Magone Rd is open during the winter for specs? I heard rumours that they were but i wanna make sure first.

The 2009 fishing regs should be able to tell you.

Sunset Lake is open but I don't see Penican listed so I am not sure about that.

Sunset is stocked and listed as open all year.

The bait shops, D&R Sporting goods and probably Can Tire would have the Ontario Fishing Regulations.

I would definately pick a book up if you are trying new lakes as even though their stocked some are closed for the Summer and some are closed for the winter.

Good Luck

Yes, Sunset Lake in Lismore Twp. is open all year now.

The Penasen's were, or still are a fish sanctuary, but I cannot confirm that right now.

I see you posted in the Ask the MNR section also. Wait for their response or call them.

Couple of links to the regulations, species, open seasons, and exceptions.

Go to the MNR on James St. to get the latest stocking list, the one below does not include 2008.

I think the Penasson Lakes are open during regular brook trout season.

Canadian Tire isn't doing licenses anymore.

That lingering question has been answered in the "Ask the MNR" section. There is an open season, with limitations.

Canadian Tire on Arthur should. The Intercity store had the privilege taken away.

Why??

I like the Arthur St. Cdn Tire fishing section better anyway!

This is why:

THUNDER BAY - A Thunder Bay licence issuer has been fined $1,000 for licence sale violations.

Robert Nearing, 53, licensed by the Ministry of Natural Resources to sell hunting and fishing licences at the Canadian Tire Store, in the Intercity Shopping area in Thunder Bay, failed to ensure staff followed ministry procedures for selling licences.

Court was told that on October 2, 2006, a store employee issued a small game licence to a person with the fishing version of the Ontario Outdoors Card rather than the hunting version of the card. The hunting version of the Outdoors Card shows that a person is an accredited hunter in Ontario and is authorized to buy a hunting licence.

Justice of the Peace Marcel Donio heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice, Thunder Bay, on April 19, 2007.

Licence issuers must ensure that all staff know how to use the licence issuing manual and follow its procedures.

To report a natural resource violation, call 1-877-TIPS-MNR (847-7667) toll-free any time or contact your local ministry office during regular business hours. You can also call Crime Stoppers at 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).
