Knowing the MNR they would probably count them
That is one law that really needs to be revamped. When an honest fisherman is accused by law as being a rebel and an outlaw, he may decide to go a step further and say well I might as well fish over my limit seeing that I am the evil person that I am.

I was fishing Perchville last year with my sled and Fishing was Zero when two Mnr pull up.They ask how many holes? like I had a secret hole somewhere.After checking License and my pack they ask again how many holes did I have.The huge majority are following the many rules imposed but I am usually made to feel uncomfortable like a suspected criminal. Perhaps I give off nervous vibes but I feel Some Mnr act like were the enemy when we all know the real problems that exist.

Does anybody know why there would be a 120 minnow limit? I'm sure there must be a reason but I think that they can alter the language/numbers so as to not trap innocent fishermen in their law enforcement net.

I believe it's because there's a rule against transporting live bait. You need a permit for this.
But under a certain, smaller amount it's personal possession.

It could have to do with us regular folk not having commercial licenses... when I was in high school we could buy chubs/dace just about anywhere. Or perhaps just a way of limiting use of the resource?
