TRAVERS: No fishing within 100M of the Canal inlet structure.

Is it within 100 meters? Is it part of the canal inlet structure?

X2 seems self explanatory.

simple answer is NOPE.

I think they may be expanding the buoys out there to the 100m no fish zone so it is easy to tell if someone isn't following that specific reg. change.

100 meter half circle around the structure not just out "front". That was what I thought it was going to be (from the meeting). That is how I interpret it from the regs as well.

I would agree 100m of shoreline leading up to the start of the structure on both sides.

The regulations state that the area you have circus is CLOSED to fishing.

The recommended closed area is 100 meters out from the front of the spillway (the rock banks are the front spillway), 100 meters north of the spillway fence and 100 meters south of the spillway fence. The plans as proposed are to place a bouy line to indicate the closed area. Fishing within this closed area is NOT allowed. This is the information that was posted after the meeting in Vulcan.

From my understanding, wasn't the whole purpose of extending the limit distance was to prevent shore fishermen from an easy walleye catch? I would say the entire rocky shorelines is closed at the minimum...

I agree....the structure would encompass any of the "man made" areas including the two "wings" of rock "structures" that are either side of the mouth....IMHO.

Hmmm, i just spoke to someone in Vulcan, Calgary and Lethbridge. Both officers in Calgary and Lethbridge say that my interpitation is correct. However the Vulcan person ( not Officer ) was unclear and the officer is off for a few days but is suppose to call me back. I would be willing to bet that what ever the Vulcan officer says is/will be correct. Will keep intouch.

The interpretation of the guy issuing the tickets is the most pertinent.

My interpretation is that the 100m mark begins on the outside of the gravel berms around the inlet. So fishing of any kind on the gravel berms would be a no-no.

I sent Terry Clayton an email for clarification.

Actually perhaps the prosecuters or the judges when it gets to the court system.

This was what was discussed at the meeting. Extending 100 meters in all directions. Not sure if it went through though(law). red lines are about 100m.

rough

Buoys would be at the end of the red lines in a half circle to protect the fish in that area. As well as the fish within the structure itself.

That's exactly how I interpret the rule as written.

For what it's worth, Terry Clayton got back to me this morning and he believes the 'canal inlet structure' begins where the cement from the inlet touches the water in Travers. So in his opinion, the no fishing boundary would look something like this (rough estimate obviously):

Hmmmmmmm.....in that case, not much has changed for boat guys. But the shore guys have really had a wrench thrown into the gears.

I should mention that my drawing is just my interpretation of what he said in the email. I replied back to make sure I'm not putting words in his mouth, so to speak.
