Two men from Markham, Ontario fined a total of $4,000 for a 45 black crappie overlimit from Lake Scugog.

The anglers were checked while returning to shore on May 14th, 2014 after a one day fishing trip in the Kawartha Lakes Region.

Inspection of the live holding tank revealed 105 Black Crappie when the anglers licences only allowed them to keep 60.

OCOA reminds anglers to review the Sportfishing Regulation Summaries to ensure you follow the limits and seasons depending on the licence you possess.

It is an offence to transport live fish overland. Limits are set in place so that anglers and other resource users may enjoy a sustainable fishery.
