Province releases sustainable bait management strategy

A decision was made on June 17, 2020 to proceed with Ontario’s Sustainable Bait Management Strategy. Following a 45-day comment period, as well as feedback received from previous engagement throughout the Bait Policy Review process, revisions were made to the draft strategy to create a revised Sustainable Bait Management Strategy.

This policy includes a variety of elements related to bait management in Ontario, including the movement of bait, personal harvest, permitted bait species, the use of bait in Brook Trout lakes, and aspects related to commercial bait operations.

The proposal will be implemented through amendments to the Ontario Fishery Regulations under the federal Fisheries Act, and Ontario Regulation 664/98 (Fish Licensing) under the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Act.
