About the LPBAA

Sunday, November 02 2008 @ 06:53 AM EST

The Long Point Bay Anglers' Association was founded in June 1988 with a mandate to promote and protect the sport fishery of Long Point Bay and to represent the interests of fellow Long Point Bay anglers'. The association plays an important role in sustaining the valuable sport fishery of Long Point Bay for ecological and economic benefit.

Concerned with the survival of released fish during recreational tournaments, in 1996 the Long Point Bay Anglers' Association initiated a volunteer operation of a "Live Release Boat". As a means to encourage live-release practices and to promote a sustainable, renewable resource, the program also serves to educate the public on the importance of releasing fish to preserve the ecosystem of Lake Erie.

In 2006, the LPBAA received a National Recreational Fisheries Award from Fisheries and Oceans Canada in recognition of its efforts to promote live release.

Misner's Dam Debate

Monday, September 06 2010 @ 12:36 PM EDT

Misner's Dam Debate continues, have read a lot about this issue over the past few months, we have even seen the local radio station put up a poll on their website to gauge the feeling of the general public on whether to remove, just repair or repair to enhance the dam's purposes, it all seems to come down to $'s and more $'s or does it?. The U-Tube link directly below offers a possible solution and a strong argument to remove the dam along with a long term plan to replace Silver Lake area and let it revert back to a more natural pre dam condition.
