Bass Fishing Secrets Revealed

Wondering how to catch a great Bass? We asked Aundreia to share her secrets in our First Annual Fish Tales Contest. According to Aundreia the essential ingredients in catching bass include:
- a Fish finding dog named Zack
- Mister Convenience worms
- a mum to put the worm on the hook
You can see Aundreia tell her Fish Tale on the OmemeeTV YouTube Channel.

Bait Choices - Which to choose?

When fishing a worm is a worm, is a worm -right? Not so! At least not so according to Aundreia's mum.
'Mister Convenience worms, are really healthy,and big,' explained Aundreia's mum Katherine V. 'We got three casts to a worm using the worms from Mister Convenience.'

Anglers of all ages are encouraged to bring their catch to 41 King Street East, for weigh in 11am to 11pm until Sunday July 15, 2012 for entry in the Omemee First Annual Summer Family Fish Festival.

Pigeon Lake Fish Safe Eating? New Interactive Guide!

Eating Pigeon Lake Fish Information – Free Books Now Available Too!

Update Aug.1 2011 - Now available in Omemee!

Picture of Fish GuideEating Bass and other Ontario Sport Fish? The New online ‘Guide to Eating Ontario Sport Fish’ helps people determine safe dining amounts of Bass plus other popular fish. This online Guide, also available as a FREE pdf download, or booklet, has a wealth of handy information for both seasoned anglers and those just starting fishing, The  new provincial guide being distributed by our local Health Unit should be essential reading before reeling in the variety of sport fish found in Ontario lakes, streams.

Avoid Contaminated Fish!

‘Fish is a good source of protein, is low in saturated fat, and is a great source of Omega 3 fatty acids. That is why people are encouraged to eat at least two servings of fish per week,” says Laura Danilko, a Registered Dietitian with the Haliburton, Kawartha, Pine Ridge District Health Unit. “Unfortunately, some sport fish, including those from Ontario, may contain contaminants such as mercury that can be harmful.’

‘Restrictions on consuming certain sport fish are not unique to Ontario,’ Danilko says, adding, ‘Most places in North America have some type of limit for young children, expectant mothers and women who are trying to get pregnant.’

The introductory section of the Guide even includes directions on how to properly prepare fish to avoid containments.

Sensitive Populations Warned

Contaminants can be especially harmful to women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant , as well as children under the age of 15 years. Separate amounts are shown in the Guide’s tables for Sensitive populations and General populations.

‘Scientific studies show that unborn babies and young children can be very sensitive to the contaminants found in some fresh water fish and that exposure to mercury at certain levels can harm an unborn baby and affect a child’s brain development,’ Danilko says.

About the 2011-2012 Guide to Eating Ontario Sport Fish

The new Interactive Guide to Eating Ontario Sport Fish www.ontario.ca/fishguide  is also now available in a handy field guide format from the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, and through HKPR District Health Unit offices. The Guide provides detailed information on sport fish from nearly 2,000 locations in Ontario, and includes the recommended number of fresh water fish that can be safely eaten, tips on choosing fish with the lowest contamination levels, and advice on ways to prepare fish to reduce contaminants.
