Anglers can catch brook and rainbow trout, white and yellow perch, smallmouth bass and chain pickerel on lakes across the province. “Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture hatcheries stock many lakes with trout each winter to ensure anglers enjoy a good sportfishing experience,” the province said in a news release. However the department’s minster, Steve Craig, says safety should be a top priority for both experienced anglers and those looking to try winter sportfishing for the first time. Some safety tips include: monitoring weather conditions dressing in layers checking ice thickness before fishing wearing a flotation device when appropriate (for example, if fishing from a boat); and anglers should also tell someone where they will be fishing and when they plan to be back. “Sportfishing is a great way to get outside during the winter months – on your own, with friends, or as a family,” Craig added. A general licence is required to fish in fresh water. You can apply for one online. 0 comment 0 FacebookTwitterPinterestEmail admin previous post Cases of Omicron sub-variant ‘Kraken’ emerging in Atlantic Canada next post ‘Heave Away’: Canada’s goal tune at the world juniors is ‘the song that never dies’ You may also like Three tight races as counting continues in Halifax-area... 28 نوفمبر، 2024 Halifax police seek suspect in robbery, property damage... 28 نوفمبر، 2024 Court clears Halifax man of canoe-kayak club voyeurism... 28 نوفمبر، 2024 Nova Scotia Liberal Leader Zach Churchill loses seat... 28 نوفمبر، 2024 Mediation efforts in Canada Post talks suspended as... 28 نوفمبر، 2024 وزارة الصحة الكندية تعلن موافقتها على دواء ’’ويغوفي‘‘ 28 نوفمبر، 2024 نوفا سكوشا: الأكثرية مجدداً للمحافظين التقدميين بقيادة هيوستون 28 نوفمبر، 2024 يُتوقَّع أن تجلب تايلور سويفت لفانكوفر 157 مليون... 28 نوفمبر، 2024 لوغو يطالب بتوقيف ’’البلطجية‘‘ و’’استعادة النظام‘‘ في مونتريال 28 نوفمبر، 2024 Some mandatory water use restrictions introduced for areas... 27 نوفمبر، 2024
