Daryl Smith and John Cooper with the MNR pointed out something to me that totally blew me away. The resident conservation fishing licence in comparison to the regular fishing licence does NOT allow for ½ limits of fish! I have been preaching the ½ limit fact for 4 years now and what scares me is that none of you set me straight. Maybe you all have the impression that fact is true also. In actuality, the conservation fishing licence allows for 25 perch per day on L St Clair (50 for regular fishing licence), 2 walleye per day (6 regular) 2 bass per day (6 regular) and no limit for Muskellunge or Sturgeon (1 per day regular). I suspected the latter two species would have no daily limit with a conservation licence holder. Check with your local MNR office for other species limits or check the guide regs.
