heres a tidbit--why dont we contact one of those yogi bear dudes that enforce these laws for a living--once this thread is exhausted with speculation, hear say and what not--we will either have to have a permit for a goldfish or actually know whats what by asking someone who knows.100%....


I think you would be opening a big can of smelly worms if you do that. Who know what changes they may make. May even stop us from using roe all together. Just leave it alone....... As Blair says............. Smiles
 
I don't see how one phone call is going to have any effect on our laws and regulations. I was just one the phone with the mnr the other day concerning another fishing matter. I have found in some areas way up north or if you are doing trapping you will have more contact with the mnr and its not always a bad thing as long as you follow the regulations. IMO
 
Not sure about the limits on roe possession, But its most likely along the same lines as fish. Your limit is per day, but you can only have your limit in the freezer at home and I am almost sure it's the same for Roe. Now the limit on salmon is 5 fish sport I think. You catch five 20lb pig hens out of lake "O" and unless your a chumming fiend :-x:cry: that should last the most avid float fisherman the full year.

If you strip a fish of its roe I am almost 100% that counts as 1 fish off your limit.

Some one also talked about people stacking their freezers with fish. Happens up my way all the time. Its awful. I have seen many different guys take home their limit for a week straight. Keep that up and will have nothing left.

I keep two or three salmon a year for me and a buddy and fish mainly hatchery roe. I fully remember my first year fishing, I kept every rainbow I could (within daily limits) Thinking I needed everything I could get. Two seasons later fishing the same freezer burned roe and feeling like an a**, I decided I might have over done it. so be smart! I know its exciting. If you don't want to fish hatchery roe, keep two fish and once your into the second fish worth of roe start thinking about keeping another one. Trust me you don't want the guilt or the freezer burned roe like I dealt with. :-D
