Blue Fish News Live on Canadian Fishing Network May 1 2023

The Blue Fish Radio Show

Live May 1 2023 on Canadian Fishing Network, Scottie Martin and Lawrence Gunther discuss the legacy of lead, micro fishing, targeting escaped hatchery fish, invasives using floating garbage to reach new habitat, and tracking Great White Sharks heading for Atlantic Canada. Margie Manthey is a true local champion for her numerous efforts to improve the future of fish and fishing on Wolf Lake. The lake is located near Westport in eastern Ontario in a region known as South Frontenac. A passionate angler, Margie has been instrumental in rehabilitating walleye spawning beds, replacing “perched” culverts, and strengthening shoreline resilience. But, her main passion is incentifying anglers to switch away from using lead weights and jigs. Her “get the lead out” program resulted in over 80 kilos of lead fishing tackle being voluntarily turned in by anglers in just one year. Margie is our guest on The Blue Fish Radio Show.
