Fishing Data Base Available

It may not make catching fish any easier, but the Ministry of Natural Resources is putting all its resources at the finger tips of local anglers.

Spokesperson Matt Garvin says a vast data base of fishing information has been posted on-line.

"We've been collecting the data for some 50 years," says Garvin, "and really never had a single efficient way of communicating it with anglers. This is really a step forward in the way were offering customer services to anglers in the province."

The data base includes, maps, directions to lakes and fishing regulations.
