Everyone knows it's illegal, yet every year hundreds of charges are laid under the Fish and Game Act for these offences. As a youngster, I can remember spending many an exciting day spearing spring suckers and many pleasurable evenings sitting down to a feast of fresh caught spring suckers fried up in a golden batter. In those days, (and still in a few parts of Ontario) it was perfectly legal to spear coarse fish. But that day is past as a result of too many people spearing trout instead of suckers. Conservation Officers were finding it too dif- ficult to differentiate between the good guys and the bad guys, so all spearing was banned. Now snagging is their big problem. Occasionally when fishing in the proper manner, a big Rainbow would strike at a lure, miss it and find itself caught by the tail instead. In the old days, the angler usually had a real tussle on his hands and a fish for supper. Now if he lucks on to a fish in such a manner, and decides to keep it, he may just wind up paying a fine of up to $1,000 as well as lose his fishing equipment. Why? The same old problem. People are intentionally snagging fish, and the ministry of natural resources is putting its foot down. I've personally seen people "supposedly" fishing with lures that would be Netter suited for whales if you went by the size of the hook. I've seen of»er fishermen (and I use the term loosely) chucking out three pronged hooks, adorned with a few feathers, that looked like they weighed three lbs. The jerking and stabbing that goes on at some rivers looks more like a sword fight than an attempt to "angle" a fish. I've seen enough just fishing in my spare time. Just imagine what a Conservation Officer must see when he's on patrol so much. The end result? Any fish that has been snagged must be released or you are liable to fines and imprisonment under the Fish and Game Act. If you decide to take a chance and keep it, you're doing just that, "taking a chance". If you do, and get away with it, I hope you have less of a conscience than I do.
