MNR Getting Feedback on Winnipeg River Fishery

Maintaining quality fishing on the Winnipeg River.

Thats the goal of the Ministry of Natural of Resources, which is using public feedback to change regulations on the water system.

Leo Heyens with the Ministry says a number of species will have new regulations.

Heyens also says they are working on changes to walleye, bass, and pike aimed at promoting fishing tourism for years to come.

He adds that an advisory committee is still getting public feedback and the regulations won't be made official until 2014.
