What’s New for 2010 Conservation Measures on Souris River The angling season on Souris River will open on May 15 th , 2010 with the exception of Harmony Pond which will open on April 15. As part of a research project, 4,000 Atlantic salmon parr were stocked into Souris River in 2009 and the delayed opening will offer protection as these fish migrate to sea. The section of the east branch, Souris River, upstream from the Souris Line Road will be closed to all angling for the period April 15 th to October 15 th . This closure is in effect as a conservation measure to protect a restored brook trout nursery area. Conservation Closure Lifted on Tryon River The east branch, Tryon River, will be open to angling in 2010. Dunk River - Open with Restrictions The Dunk River has been restricted to catch and release fishing to allow stocks to recover from an extensive fish kill in 2007. In 2010, anglers will be allowed to retain rainbow trout (up to eight per day). All brook trout must be released. See page 34 for details on gear restrictions. - 3 -
