Fishing Season and Limits
Please Note
You are allowed to fish at night but our boats are not equipped with lights. If you do wish to fish at night, we do have a few lights that can be reserved in advance.
Fishing with minnows is only permitted when the minnows were obtained from a licensed minnow dealer. Be sure to obtain a receipt for your purchase and carry that receipt with you when you are fishing. If you are checked by a game warden he will ask to see that purchase receipt.
All fishermen can have only one day's limit in their possession at any time and our American guests can take one day's limit back home across the border.
Be careful. If you get checked by a conservation officer on the lake or at the dock, he will ask to see the fish that you have on your stringer or in your bucket. Next, he is likely to ask whether you have additional fish in your refrigerator or in your freezer. He will then want to see those as well. If the total number of fish in all of those places exceeds your legal possession limit, it will result in a fine and confiscation of the fish.
Our chain of lakes is in Fishery Management Zone 8.
