Answer from MNR on my question about fishing from boat on two rods on Lake Ontario. ********************************************************************************************************************************************** Lake Ontario is located in Fisheries Management Zone 20. On page 93 of the Ontario Fishing Regulations Summary, under the Exceptions to Zone 20 Regulations, it states the following: WATERBODY EXCEPTION DETAILS All waters of Lake Ontario, including the Niagara River (downstream of Niagara Falls). The following waters are excluded: Jordan Harbour, Hamilton Harbour, Toronto Harbour, Frenchman’s Bay, Murray Canal, Presqu’ile Bay, Weller’s Bay, East Lake, West Lake, the Bay of Quinte (the waters lying west of the Glenora Ferry), the St. Lawrence River (waters lying east of a line drawn between Bishops Point and the easternmost tips of Howe and Wolfe islands), and all other tributaries to Lake Ontario. Two lines may be used when angling from a boat in open water. As you can see from the above, two lines are allowed to be used in lake Ontario while fishing from a boat in open waters, with the exception of the water bodies listed as being excluded from that regulation. We hope you have found this information helpful. If you require further clarification do not hesitate to contact the Natural Resources information Centre toll free at 1-800-667-1940.

Wow.!..that good news.! Thanks a lot.)

Maybe somebody can answer... Sometimes I can see on boat one person and is fishing (Lake Ontario) on two roods. How this possible.?? From the MNR fishing regulations: Hooks and Lines – An angler may use only one line, unless otherwise stated in the regulations. Two lines may be used when angling from a boat in parts of the Great Lakes (see Exceptions to the General Regulations) and for ice fishing in many areas (see Ice Fishing, page 11). A fishing line must not have more than four hooks attached. Confused me..Sent question to MNR..Let you know.. thanks

I just start this year salmon hunting and my biggest problem was a trolling speed. I tried to several different devices which helps slow down boat but was hard use my boat (Four winns H180) for fishing and pleasure without changes..Problem was solved different way... My speed was about 5...6mph. On the second rood I add just two more Dipsy Divers Magnum with ring and now I have about 2.5..max 3 mph. Mark

Thanks.)..

Is ok to use flasher or spin doctor with Dipsy diver.?? How dip usually should go.?? Which tackle on the end you prefer for salmon ?? What is your opinion about teaser and herring fillet.?? Thanks for answer..) ..new in salmon hunting Mark

Can be used any kind of herrings or only specific.??
