NEW BAIT FISH REGULATION AFFECTS ANGLERS A new regulation now makes it compulsory for an angler to have his name legibly marked on any trap that he uses to take bait fish for personal use. This requirement, which bait fish operators have had to meet for some time, will make it possible for the ownership of traps left set in lakes or streams to be established. ; Anglers are also reminded that the Ontario Fish- ery Regulations prohibit the unauthorized liberation of bait fish into any water other than that from which they were taken. SERVING THE DISTRICT JULY 25, 1968 WASHOUT STRANDS MANY TRAVELLERS A highway washout a few miles east of Terrace Bay which occurred last Thursday, paralyzed traffic on this portion of the Trans-Canada Highway for three days, and stranded many travellers who left points east, unaware of the event. On Thursday evening, travellers going East were being advised at Nipigon to go via Highway eleven and to go back around by Duluth. One New York visitor was overheard to say indignantly that he came up to make the circle route tour and he was going to stay put till he could make it. Highway Department workers are being kept busy repairing washouts and erecting warning signs. Unless the weather improves, continued rain may cause fur- thur trouble spots, not only in this district but points east and west.
