If you currently fish in, or are planning a fishing trip to Ontario Canada,
please visit

www.publicgis.info/onfishing


This web site uses a "find by click" system to help you find
1. places to fish
2. discover species present
3. be advised how much fish you can safely eat

The web site uses a database compiled by the Province of Ontario, which is
the most comprehensive database of its kind in North America. This database
contains over 1,700 fishing locations and 38 species of fish.

Consumption advice is provided for each fish present, and indicates how much
of each fish for various sizes of catch you can consume per month.
Categories are as follows:

solid fish icon: not safe in any amount
circled "1": no more than one serving per month
circled "2": no more than two servings per month
circled "4": no more than four servings per month
hollow fish icon: no more than eight servings per month

As far as I know, there are no other electronic sources for this
information.

You can also limit your search to particular species (for example, "where
can I fish for Muskie near Barrie?")

Before you eat any fish caught in Ontario, make sure you visit the web site
to ensure the fish you caught is safe to eat--this is especially important
for pregnant women and children under 15 years.

Happy fishing!

I'm thinking of people who do not live in Ontario who plan to visit, or the
many people who have never encountered this book. As well, if you click on
the map, you get a list of lakes and rivers NEARBY. The book does not offer
this capability.

Well ok then,but I bet most all visitors to Ontario make a stop at a local
liquor/beer store one of their first priorities though.Get a free book while
shopping for critical supplies too!

Every province has a tourist bureau. They are all too happy to send you by
mail all sorts of info. When you tell them the area you are going to and
what you would like to do, then it makes it even simpler for them.

No province or state in North America -- other than Ontario -- compiles the
information, and to the degree of detail and comprehensiveness, as what is
in the "Guide to Eating Ontario Sport Fish", which is available in a unique
format at http://publicgis.info/onfishing

So I can't agree with your claim. In fact, the Ontario Tourist bureau
doesn't even know about the "Guide to eating Ontario Sport Fish", for it is
published by a different agency.

They're trying to do a good thing. Who cares if the information exists in a
booklet or not. Geesh...
