I cannot figure out if Fesserton(Huronia Bait) is in the central BMZ i.e. FMZ 15. Anyone have a ling to a detailed map? Somehow the maps on this link will not scroll down that far TIA

He likely has other priorities instead of making sure all customers adhere to fishing regulations.

Interesting. I mean this glen orchard bait shop and the location (Simcoe) where his minnows come from, are not even in the same Bait Management Zone!:-)

However, even though they come from down south and are tested, we can not leave the BMZ 11 with them. So BMZ 15 is 20 minutes from my house I have to drive 1 hrs 10 minutes to (Magnetawan) to get minnows then back track to the lake I want to fish on. It's not worth the trip for minnows, using worms and plastics now.
