(KAWARTHA LAKES) A Bobcaygeon man is one of five Rice Lake anglers who have been fined a total of $5,000 for illegal fishing activities.
Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) officials say Donald Mowry of Bobcaygeon, Vincent Vanstone of Newcastle, John Rundle of Bowmanville, Gregory Topolie of Courtice and Cornelieus Koppens of Port Hope pleaded guilty in court on Jan. 28. The men were fined $1,000 each for catching and keeping over-sized walleye.
Court heard that conservation officers observed a group of anglers staying at a Rice Lake cabin from November 1 to 3, 2013. Officers stopped the men as they left and discovered they had caught and kept a number of walleye larger than the fishing regulations allowed.
Justice of the Peace Jack LeBlanc heard the case in the Ontario Court of Justice in Port Hope.

im actually thinking about calling these guys to put limits on all of the sport fish in the great lakes and the harbours they should have a 12 inch max on perch and no keeping the walleye till the population gets back up on its feet. I know it will break hearts but come on! no one f**king cares anymore!!!!!!!!
