MNR proposing new fishing rules on the lower Ganaraska River

Overview

The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) is proposing a recreational fishery rule change to the lower Ganaraska River in Fisheries Management Zone 17.

The changes will:

• help protect vulnerable migrating Chinook salmon during peak migration
• provide extended angling opportunities for Atlantic salmon, brown trout, Pacific salmon, and rainbow trout in the fall season

This proposal is only about the recreational fishery. It does not affect Indigenous communities exercising their constitutionally protected rights to fish.
