This week on Outdoor Journal Radio, Ang and Pete are joined by Senior Biologist with the Ontario MNR, Dan Taillon, to discuss a much-requested amendment to the province’s catch and release regulations, one that would allow photographs to be taken of catch-and-release-only fish.

First, however, a bit of housekeeping was in order. Topics discussed included: Pete’s new coffee; cowboying; badger shootin’; taking horse medicine; watching fishing while you treadmill; a conversation with Siri; eating a raw shore lunch; mouse sandwiches; contracting 30-foot tapeworms; Mountain Lion sashimi; feeding raw fish to John Snow; a change to fish photography laws; how you can see our podcast live; why crazy bait colours are getting so popular; and an answer from a real scientist.


With those matters out of the way, Dan Taillon joins the show! Topics discussed included: unique introductions; how public consultation works; why photographing out-of-season fish is being re-considered; what constitutes immediate release; do photos compromise fish; catch-photo-release tournaments; getting outfished by Pete; photos counting toward your limit; whether Ang and Pete have been breaking the law; officer discretion; due diligence; whether angler feedback actually makes a difference; when public engagement goes wrong; the case of Lake Scugog; and much more!
