Shoal Lake, which is up at the top end of northwestern Ontario, made the news last September when two First Nations reserves on the lake threatened to cut off the water supply that is piped to the city of Winnipeg.
It is also one of the few walleye-protected lakes in Ontario — no fishing for walleye anytime — which is why it made the news last week when four Manitoba anglers were fined for, get , hosting a walleye tournament on the lake.
Talk about being at the bottom of the intellectual charts when it comes to sportsmen.
The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources revealed last week that the four men were fined a total of $5,000 and suspended from fishing in the province for a year after pleading guilty in Kenora to fishing violations on the protected lake.
Their investigation apparently revealed that during Aug. 12 and 13, one of the men organized a small fishing derby for the fishing party, a derby that included a prize for the biggest walleye.
If there was a prize for the biggest dork, it would have been the guy who organized the tournament, with his three pals all runners-up.
This goes without saying. |
