we need all our fisheries protected and it has to be done sooner or later before the next generations dont get to enjoy the most fustrating but most enjoyable pass time around
It only makes good sense to take action on this issue. The Otter is a great fishing habitat.
I agree with the sanctuary, however I think the damn and the rapids directly below it should be protected to be specific. They should tie a rope across the creek where the rapids join up again, similar to Big Creek’s Kiwanis damn in Delhi. This should leave the most vulnerable and richest spawning beds safe from getting trampled. There are other creeks open until the end of the year and populations are stable. However, I don’t agree with anglers in waders stomping all over the beds.
I would like to see the MNR create a year round sanctuary on Big Otter Creek, to prevent unlawful angling, and protect Rainbow Trout.
We need more enforcement officers protecting our fish species when the fish are most vulnerable.
great idea! important to conserve the fish so that they can continue to bring us food
Big Otter Creek Sanctuary is a good idea, let's get it done.

I do not fish the creeks myself but I do fish in Lake Erie for Rainbows and hate to see anything happen to the great fishery we have out in the open water
