Na 16 -- PORT PERRY STAR -- Tuesday, January 21, 1986 Lake Scugog is only lake to allow ice fishing by Wray McQuay Conservation Officer Lake Scugog has the distinction of being the only lake in Division 6 where ice fishing is allowed. Divi- sion 6 includes all of the Kawartha Lakes plus Lake Scugog and Rice . Lake. Anglers should consult the 1986 Fishing Regulations Summary for the various division boundaries, and open seasons and catch limits in each division. Ice fishing on Lake Scugog begins 'as soon as the angler braves the ice conditions. A minimum of five cen- timetres (two inches) of "blue" ice is recommended for one person on foot. Fishermen should make themselves aware of thin ice loca- tions. Some of the traditional poor ice areas on Lake Scugog are the mouth of the Nonquon River, the outlet to the Scugog River, Port Perry Causeway and off the nor- theast end of Scugog Island. A good way to learn the location of poor ice is to observe the lake during spring break-up, and take notes of where the ice first leaves the lake. Towards spring, beware of 'honeycomb' ice. This condition ex- ists when the warm spring sun starts to break down the ice. The melted water drains down to the water level leaving a very weak honeycomb structure of ice. Anglers should pay special atten- tion to clothing when ice fishing. Several layers of loose fitting clothes are most effective. An outer layer of wind resistant material should be worn to guard against wind chill. Waterproof, felt-lined - footwear will prove to be the warmest for ice fishing. Make sure footwear is dry. Anglers on Lake Scugog should be -aware of special regulations per- taining to ice fishing. These include the following: -- The last day for pickerel fishing ke Scugog is March 15, 1986. -- The daily catch limit is six pickerel. The total possession limit is also six pickerel. Fish 'are con- sidered to be in possession whether they are in hand, in transit, or ina freezer. -- Muskellunge and bass are out of season during the ice fishing season, and must be returned immediately if caught. -- Two lines are allowed on Lake Scugog when fishing through the ice. A person must tend his or her lines at all times. A clear and unobstructed view of the lines must be kept. Set lines are not allowed. A line is considered to be "set" when the line is not being tended by a person. -- When leaving a fishing hut on the ice, the hut must be registered with the Lindsay district office of the Ministry of Natural Resources. There is no charge for this service. -- All litter must be removed from the ice at the end of each fishing trip. -- All fishing huts must be remov- ed from the ice by March 15. The 1986 Summary of the Fishing Regulations should be consulted for additional information. The most serious problems associated with ice fishing are litter and abandoned fishing huts. In 1985, about 10 fishing huts were left frozen "in the lake after the March 15th deadline. Other enforcement pro- blems include extra lines, set lines and possession of bass or muskellunge out of season. Some final "tips"for fishermen: * Dress for weather conditions * If fishing large waters, take along a compass * Check local ice and slush conditions * Raise your fishing hut a few inches twice a month to prevent the base from freezing into the ice * Ensure a fresh air supply if using a heating device in a hut * If taking your vehicle on the ice, check your insurance policy. Many policies will not provide coverage for this type of travel. This activity is not encouraged The Ministry of Natural Resources wishes you a safe and successful ice fishing season. Please help to do your share by keeping your ice fishing area litter-free and ensuring your ice hut. is removed from the ice in the spring.

"If the Township is going to sup- ~ port ice fishing and boating on Lake Scugog, then maybe it is time the council should be providing some kind of parking area, especially in Caesarea," said Mayor Jerry Taylor. He told councillors that this sug- gestion was made to him recently by a resident of that community on the . east arm of the lake. Despite no parking signs, roads leading to the lake in Caesarea and other areas of the Township are often clogged with parked vehicles, especially on the weekends. The council's roads committee is going to study the idea of renting va- cant land for parking. If a deal can be reached, the Township would keep the area cleared of snow and accessible to visitors who have nowhere to park. SMITH-CORONA TYPEWRITERS Manual or Electric Ribbons for most makes.
