There’s a call for the province to put restrictions on spring fishing in the Savanne River west of Thunder Bay.
John Kaplanis of the Northwestern Ontario Sportsmen’s Alliance, says there are concerns the female walleye are being overfished at a time when they’re spawning
Kaplanis believes it’s reasonable to look at and to question whether, from a conservation perspective, we should be continuing to harvest those females at that time.
He’s hoping to convince lawmakers to make the river into a fish sanctuary. (File photo)
