(photo by Andy Bader) Ministry wants input on management plan Sport and Commercial fishermen and even municipalities and special interest groups will have a stake, or at least a say, in the Ministry of Natural Resources' Strategic Fisheries Management Plan for Lake Huron. The ministry held an open house in Saltford Thursday, to give individuals and interest groups, a chance to comment oh the ministry's plan to develop a direction for the management of the fisheries resources of Lake Huron. While the ministry, in its umbrella fin, has identified problem areas requiring fur- ther management, it is the sport and com- mercial fisherman that the ministry hopes to hear from. Comments on the plan as well as concerns that individuals and groups feel need to be addressed will be ac- cepted in writing by the ministry until May 31. Lake Huron operation co-ordinator, Stan Munroe, of the ministry's Owen Sound of- fice said the strategy is develop a broad plan for fish management that will be tailored by the nine districts sertred by the ministry along Lake Huron. "It's a broad strite-g-ffrtftrraelfra outlines problems of a historical nature with respect of over -fishing, chemical seepage and the deterioration of spawning areas," he explained. "We have presented a proposal and the plan will act like an um- brella plan for district plans. It will he like a master plan for the nine districts." A ministry paper suggests that conflicts between commercial and sport fishermen persist and there is a basic difference In philosophy. The sport group would like the ministry to introduce Chinook salmon. to the lake while commercial fiaheemait fear the salmon would an but destroy the available stock of fish in the lake, 4a The ministry isnmana to re-establish the helping the lake trout in Lake Huron, thereby return- ing the lake to the condition it was in in the 1940s. "We'd like to return the lake to the fish community that was present in the 1940s, when lake trout was the main predator," Munroe explained. "Over the last 40 years there has been a real changeand lake trout has almost disappeared and the lake has gone to alewife, smelt and perch. In the' 1940s lamprey nearly wiped out the lake trout and chub and lake herring were the main forage food base."1 Many factors have contributed to the change in the lake including intensive agricultural cultivation, increased urban and industrial growth along the lakeshore, the deterioration of lakeshore and river spawning beds and deforestation. The fifth largest freshwater lake in the world, Huron covers an area of 59,570 kilometres and has an average. depth 'of 59 metres. The world's largest island sur- rounded by freshwater, Manitoulin, is also contained within the lake. The coldwater .lake was originally dominated by species such as lake trout, --giuco-andwhi±dish-Witk he introduction the Ministry of Natural Resources held an open house at Saltford Valley Hall Thursday to give sport and commercial fisherman and interestManage d a emeut tan municipalities nd aliti co n opporr- tunity to review its Lake Duron Strategic Fisheries g The Ministry is hoping people will respond to the draft blaster plan in writing by May 31.

There has also been a great increase in sport and recreational fishing along the Lake Huron shoreline and that trend is much in evidence in the Goderich area. The charter industry fk flourishing in the area pod the rivers and streams feeding Lake 4luron have become popular fishing spots.
