MNR Bait Fish



Illegal activity in the Dryden District has prompted the Ministry of Natural Resources to issue a warning.

Conservation officers have found a number of illegal baitfish traps this Summer.

The MNR says traps must be clearly labelled with the name of the user and must not exceed the maximum permitted size.

The Ministry has also received several complaints of individuals selling bait fish without a licence.

New bait regulations are in place to protect rare and endangered species.
