An insert in the London Free Press two weeks ago gives a detailed listing of places to go to enjoy your favorite form of entertainment, be it snowshoeing, skiing, snowmobiling, or ice fishing. It's a good item to file away for future reference, so if you haven't thrown it out already, set it aside. You never know when that weekend urge to "do something" will hit, and when it does, you'i heave a directory handy. -V- + + The Mimstiy of natural Resources to coo rattan with the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans, will be carrying out a survey this year to update their statistics. This information is required to effectively manage Ontario's fisheries (both sport and com- mercial) for the next decade. Forty thousand questionnaires will be mailed out to Ontario residents, and recipients are urged to complete and return these forms as quickly as possible. Non -fishermen will also be included in the mailing, and will be required only to fill out a small section of this form. In order to get a complete cross secion of the poulation, it is important that even non -anglers participate by completing the questionnaire and returning it as soon as possible. The results of this survey should be available to the general public by mid year and will include estimates of the number of. anglers using specific geographical, areas, their levels of activity, success rates. and preferences. According to the survey in 1975, 3.4 million anglers annually spent 63 million days in pursuit of fishing. That averages out to 16.5 days a year per angler. If you receive one of these questionnaires in the mail in the near future, please take the few minutes it required to complete it and.send it off in the mail +++ By developing a backcross to the original splake line, the Ministry has come up with a winner. Those who have had the pleasure of catching some of these splake in the Owen Sound area will be quick to agree. The splake population is still tenuous at best, however, and steps are being taken to maximize their survivaL Owen. Sound and Cdpoy's. Bay . have been tem- porarily closed to commercial fishermen to ensure the survival of sufficent potential breeding stock. Anglers and commercial fishermen will be restricted (for this year) from taking splake in division 16 of Georgian Bay from October 1st to November 30th. This step has been taken to protect the adult spawners, which are par- ticularly vulnerable at this time of year. There are - several potential spawning sites in the Owen Sound area, and this closure will hopefully ensure maximum natural egg production resulting in a better fishery in the near future. Some of the splake now present have reached weights of 9 lbs. and the removal of this prime breeding stock would seriously set back the Ministry's splake program. The results of this temporary closure will be closely monitored, and if, more controls are required, a longer • closed season, or a reduced creel limit may be im- posed. With any luck, and a little cooperation, we may have a fantastic splake fishery in Lake Huron within a few years. with the Barons 6 - 6 last week and dropped a 4 - 1 decision to Wingham last Monday night. The Clinton Juniors trail the Baron's by four points and hold one ?. me in hand as the Stangs have four games remaining.
