The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) is proposing changes to recreational fishing rules on the lower Ganaraska River in Fisheries Management Zone 17. The proposed changes aim to protect migrating Chinook salmon during peak migration and extend angling opportunities for Atlantic salmon, brown trout, Pacific salmon, and rainbow trout in the fall season. These changes will not affect Indigenous communities' constitutionally protected fishing rights.
