Spring is Springing

Fishing season is only a few days away and the lake I overlook from my window is still frozen solid.

I knew the sun had some warmth because my furry thermometer was showing warm enough to nap.

Here are some scenes from March 29th in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

FISHERIES/AQUACULTURE--New Sportfishing Licences System for People With
Disabilities
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Sportfishing anglers with disabilities will have a new process for
getting a licence when the season opens in Nova Scotia on April 1.

"Sportfishing is an outdoor activity that can be enjoyed by people of
any age or ability," said Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture, Ron
Chisholm. "We are pleased to offer free sportfishing licences to people
with disabilities."

Free general fishing licences are available for Nova Scotians with
disabilities who meet the criteria. Under the new system, an accessible
parking identification permit issued by the Registrar of Motor Vehicles
will qualify as proof of disability, or anglers can have their
application for a fishing licence confirmed by a doctor.

Application forms are available at Access Nova Scotia and the Department
of Natural Resources. Anglers who qualify for this type of fishing
licence can pick one up at their local Department of Natural Resources
office.

Information on angling and the 2009 sportfishing regulations is
available at www.gov.ns.ca/fish/sportfishing .
