In most provinces in Canada it is illegal. In Ontario for example it is a 2 thousand dollar fine if caught. I am just curious why it is illegal:shrug:
Not sure Kick, but I think it has something to do with protecting the migrating fish. They want the salmon, etc. to reach the rivers. Just like certain areas in the great inland lakes of Ontario are protected during the spawn, they restrict the area around the hydro dams to help ensure the fish a safe passage.![]()
I think a lot of it is actually a safety issue because of the rate the water they can put through at a moments notice. :shrug:
yep. Don't know of too many fish that migrate through hydroelectric dams! :mj07:
I know it would be hard for you to have to admit that maybe there's SOMETHING you DON'T know. But before ridiculing the statement perhaps you should read up on hydro dams and expand your horizons :thefinger They have built in ladders and other passage means for just such an occasion.

I don't fish and know nothing about fishing was just curious as to why a 2000 dollar fine, didn't mean to start anything:scared
I think MyAddidas is correct it is a safety issue, but trolln4walii may also be correct. Maybe it is for both reasons? Maybe migration of certain species of fish go through those dams:shrug:
As stated I am not a fisherman, but maybe that is where you can catch the fish? If they needed to pass a law it is obviously because the fish are found there and that's where people were fishing.
But as I said I don't know, perhaps some expert fisherman know this. Are there certain types of fish that migrate near hydro dams? Maybe that's where you catch em? I mean why else would people fish there?
I mean they wouldn't pass this law if nobody was ever fishing there right? And if you fish there then it would be logical to assume there would be fish right:shrug:
