For this reason our Club is opposed to any killing of fish and in particular Brown Trout in the Credit. At present there are no kill regulations in effect above Old Base Line in Caledon. These regulations include a requirement for single barbless hooks, no live bait. This makes it almost an exclusive fly fishing stretch of the river. Who will kill the Brown Trout? Anyone who is prepared to kill Brown Trout is probably prepared to kill all fish including the protected Brook Trout.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #888888;\">\u00a0We understand that Brown Trout were introduced to the Credit River early in the last century because they were better able to tolerate warmer water. We expect that the water is even warmer now. We cannot go back to the way things were 100 years ago. We have sewage treatment plants, storm water runoff, septic tanks, water removal and global warming all affecting water temperature and quality.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #888888;\">\u00a0Brown Trout have provided an excellent, \u00a0sustainable fishery, \u00a0for over 100 years. It would be wrong to sacrifice Brown Trout on the altar of Brook Trout, which we would suggest are suffering because of water quality, not competition from Brown Trout. These fish have co-existed for over 100 years . It is no fault of Brown Trout that Brook Trout are in decline. As evidence of this, we would observe that there are no Browns above the Cataract and yet Brook Trout are in decline above the Cataract.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #888888;\">\u00a0We would also support the Rainbow Trout fishery in the lower Credit which has provided excellent fishing opportunities. Various organizations, \u00a0including Izaak Walton, \u00a0have done wonderful work to create these fisheries. It does not make sense to deliberately diminish them in any way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #888888;\">\u00a0Would you please advise me where one can review the Plan so that I can advise Club members that may want to respond personally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #888888;\">\u00a0Thank you for considering our position.<\/span><\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #888888;\">\u00a0Don Arthurs<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #888888;\">Conservation Chair<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #888888;\">Izaak Walton Flyfishing Club<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p lang=\"en\"><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #888888;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: verdana, geneva; color: #888888;\">Cc: J.
