Simple solution , don’t buy the walleye tags in the first place . I see it as another money grab when you get to pay $3.65 per walleye tag for $2.00 worth of fish. How desperate are we to keep a bloody walleye? Soon they will charge you by the pound.
If the fisheries department is that strapped for cash maybe they should put a 1/2% fish management tax on boats and fishing gear and everything fishing related.Doesn't matter if you use your boat for fishing or not. Actually if you buy a wake boat or a jet ski you should have the privilege of paying a higher fisheries tax because of how annoying your boat is to fishermen.
I’m quite certain they would raise all the money they would ever need that way, I am also quite certain they would spend it all on things that do nothing to enhance the fisheries in this province.
