Any truth to this rumor ?

[Pioneer2]

A buddy mentioned he had heard that due to a couple guys drowning while fishing too close to aeration pumps on some lake,that the province will not be running them any more? Common sense aside I hope this isn't so ,as all the fish could winterkill ........anyone hear anything along those lines? Harold

The province has deployed a new aeration system. The old one was essentially not "legal" .

Not sure about the rumour....seems pretty far out there.

Having said this, check the fishing forum, there has been a ton of posts on the subject of aerators

No, there was a legitimate concern no lakes would be aerated this year due to legal reasons surrounding the method of aeration. A new aeration method has been developed and deployed for the hard water season.

Yep, do a search in Fishing. New systems this year or cancelled. Except at Spring.
