HomeMy WebLinkAboutClinton News-Record, 1983-02-02, Page 17by sieve cooke It wool() appear that Allan Pope, Minister of Natural Resources, is getting a good deal of flak over has sign- ing of the new Indian fishing agreement. Several of- ficial statements and copies of a legislature speech have been released to try to explain his position. Mr. Pope states that he consulted the OFAJ-1 and NOTO I Northern Ontario Tourist Outfitters) before the agreement was signed on December 17, 1982. Accor- ding to OFAH, very few of the recommended changes were taken to heart before the agreement was signed. Now, it would appear as though he as looking for input regarding the regulations, after it has been signed. It's puttin the cart before the horse, but that's typical of government anyway. Mr. Pope plans to set up two types of committees - regional and provincial - to advise him on changes pro- posed under the agreement. To put it in his own words - "I have to date invited the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, the Northern Ontario Tourist Outfitters' Association, chambers of commerce, municipal organizations and Indian band councils to suggest the names of people to sit on these commit- tees." He said he will ensure that all interests are con- sidered before specific designations are made. He added that he consulted members of NOTO and the OFAH before signing the agreement on December 17, 1982, bringing them up to date on the negotiations and seeking advice. He said NOTO offered criticisms and comments, some of which affected the final terms of the agreement. Mr. Pope outlined the details of the agreement and its potential benefits, as well as describing the historical basis for the document. He told the house he expects the federal government to ratify the agree- ment in February with only minor modifications. "It is important for us to recognize that the Indian people of Ontario have historically had special status accorded to them by the Crown," he said, referring specifically to various treaties, the British North America Act and the Constitution. Mr. Pope noted that the agreement, as well as establishing a first step toward legally recognizing the right of the status Indian people to fish for their per- sonal consurnption, will improve the government's ability to manage the fisheries resource of Ontario. "I should also stress that this agreement will not significantly affect any existing commercial or tourist fishing business on any water body. The signatories to the agreement have all acknowledged the rights of these groups," the Minister told the house. "In addition, there will be no exclusive zones in areas of intensive non -Indian use. This includes Lake Sim- coe, Lake Nipissing, the North Channel, Manitoulin Island and the Lake of the Woods." He said the agreement "can only come into effect by amendments to the Ontario Fishery Regulations. Until these regulations can be reviewed by the provincial ( advisory) committee, the status quo will remain." The only way to hold this legislation from being ratified is by letting your MPP know what you think of it. Your MP should also be notified so it can be stopped at the Federal level as well, until the touchy areas have been worked out to everyone's satisfaction. +++ More news for fishermen. Berkley Canada, the distributor for Ryobi Reels in Canada, has announced the availability of three of their best reels. For the fly fisherman, Ryobi's new magnesium fly reels are lightweight, yet amazingly strong. The smooth, built-in drag system is easily ratchet ad- justable. Handle is convertible for left or right hand operation. The Ryobi 355 MG weighs a nymph -like 5.7 Oz. yet handles a full 50 yards of AFTMA 8F fly line. Ryobi utilized -the latest metallurgical technology in the design of their magnesium fly reels. The 355MG and 455MG were built strong and tough for rugged linker fly fishing. This line has often been referred to as "the poor man's Hardy", a comment which will at- test to the fine workmanship and smooth action that the knowledgeable fly caster demands. Spin fishermen are not neglected either as the new Ryobi EX series offers a level of performance and reliability that's made to order for rugged Canadian fishing. You'll find features like dual ballbearings, self - centering rotor, internal trip ball, snap off spool and high speed retrieve. A quick comparison check with other reels on your tackle shops' shelves will prove that this reel is especially well built and smooth operating. Try it for yourself and see. I seldom see anyone using a bait -casting reel in this part of the country, but if you're a serious bass fisher- man, it's something you should maybe look into. The pros on the big circuit all use them, and Cm sure it would only take a little practice to become proficient with one. New models are constantly appearing on the market, but the new Ryobi V -Spool is a remarkable in- novation in bait -casting reels. It provides a significant increase in casting control, thereby greatly reducing the chance of a backlash or overrun. The Ryobi V -Spool receives top billing, but don't forget that the fiyobi 5000V also has a one piece diecast aluminum frame, ceramic level wind guide, and three ballbearings. The first place a serious baitcaster looks to improve fishing perfonrance is his reel, so if you're just starting, winnot take advantage of modern inventiveness. Of o'ur's, if you are a baitcaster already, one look at this r, -el ; iould be almost enough to make your mouth mater.

( Photo by Rod Hilts Debut in NHL EXETER- Exeter native Dave Shaw enjoyed the most thrilling and probably the busiest four days of his hockey career last week including two games in the NHL. Shaw who was selected by the Quebec Nordiques in the June draft played four games with two different teams in four cities in four days. ' He started his busy schedule with the Kitchener Rangers in Guelph Thursday night, spent the next two nights in his first test with the Nordiques and was back with the Rangers Sunday night, Getting his first start with the Quebec club in Washington Friday night he was used on a regular shift on defence with Norm Rockeford for the first period. In Pittsburg the following night he was again used mainly in the first period. In an interview from his Kitchener boarding house last week, Shaw said,"it was a great thrill to get into a game with fellows like the Stasny's and Paiement after watching them on television. It was a terrific experience playing with the Nordiques." Land decline In 1975 there was 0.40 hec- tares of arable land per per- son in the world.
