i think h means roe counting towards your possesion limit, meaning if you have a container of roe, you are only allowed 1 fish vs the 2 on sport. i have seen nothing in the regs regarding this as well. since roe is considered bait, i don't believe that it counts towards your limit. since anyone with 2 types of roe salmon/trout would automatically be over limit on the first fish they wish to keep on a sport license, and if you're on a conservation license, you're already over limit before you leave the house
this cannot be true--how can they determin--like a pound of roe equals one fish? i have salmon roe in my freezer that would mean i have a salmon out of season?? this cannot be correct. there cannot be a consistent mathematical equation to determin how much roe is equal to how many fish--just doesnt make any sense--

let say ur out in oct, and u get a hen with loose eggs, and you milk it and put the fish back un harmed then that counts as one fish to your limit.. the possession of raw eggs will be part of your limit.
once the eggs are left at home and are being used for bait, they are no longer counted as possession of a fish.
but, if you go out and get 2 rainbows and bring them home and u keep them in ur freezer, then you are at ur limit i think..?
i have heard someone say, you can only keep more fish after you have eaten or no longer have any rainbows in your possession..
if not people would just go out, get 2 bows, bring them home and head back out, ect... until they have over 50 bows in their freezer
so the roe only counts if your still out on the river with the roe collected from the fish that day.

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 agree with the last post, info right from Yogi would be our best bet. Although I've asked these guys questions while on the water and on more than a few occasions received useless info!

I think I wore out me question max with those guys...........lol. Either they don't know the anwser or just got sick and tired of me asking......lol.
"I have read that Great Lake trouts born in the rivers will live there for up to 3 years before dropping down to the lake. I assume they have reached an adequate size to prevent predation by other larger fish and birds. At what size/age are they when they head to the lake?"
I don't expect them to reply to too many questions. Who knows maybe there's the odd pencil pusher with time on his hands..........lol.
its goverment bro--there is one guy to push the pencil, one guy to verify it has been pushed and a team of monkeys in brand new hard hats to strike because thier push wasnt recognized enough. we pay them with our taxes---i would email them every minute until you get an answer lol
If I recall that old post correctly, the guy was talking about a scenario where someone sees a freshly dead salmon, cuts it open and picks up roe, then leaves the carcass laying on the ground. If a CO sees that act not from the very beginning, the person involved might have hard time proving he did not catch that fish and leave it rot on the shore while it was "suitable for human consumption". So, the issue was a bit different I believe...

I think this is bit of a hypothetical discussion. MNR has enough trouble catching blatant violators, so the subtleties of roe possession would be off their radar.(Unless maybe you were toting home several identifiable skeins of roe)

I was always under the impression that the limit was per day. So I can take 2 bows per day home, not per outting and go a couple times a day.
As for the roe I do believe that if you have fresh roe from a fish that counts towards your limit for the day although taking roe from a dead fish does raise a few questions and I'm not very sure.
