Eddy paper mill. Indeed, after calls from concerned members, our Imme- diate Past President, Mr. Doug Ogston, along river to analyze the dam- age. : On Saturday, July 19, they investigated just one side of the river on a stretch slightly under one mile long and picked up approximately. 1,000 fish, including walleye, pike, bass, musky, stur- geon, and perch. These fish were on the surface. No attempt was made to count the smaller fish such as musky fry, or the many fish which in mind that visibility into the Spanish River is limited to an approxi- mate depth of 2% feet, so only a portion were visible). Our very con- servative estimate of the fish killed in the 30-mile downstream stretch is 50,000 to 60,000 fish, but the real figures may be well over 100,000. Certainly, we feel it is safe to say that every fish in that stretch was killed. deed, we have already witnessed tourists pack- ing up and returning home because no fish were left for them to catch. As- Ontario's largest provincial conserva- tion organization, we must insist that: 1. Charges be laid under the Fisheries Act of Canada and any other appropriate legislation; 2. That the company pay sible, and that M.N.R. supervise that rehabili- tation; and 3. That measures be undertaken at and near the plant so that future spills are not possible, and the M.O.E. super- vise such remedial and preventative measures. It is imperative that you, as the Minister responsible for Ontario's fish resour- ces, ensure that this action is taken. with members of our could be seen on the Poe all costs of completely Yours in Conserva- local club, visited the river bottom (and bear Sports fishing and rehabilitating the river _ tion, tourism will suffer for as quickly as humanly J.T.
