0:47
and outdoor Canada Canada's only
0:51
national fishing and hunting magazine on
0:57
today's fishing chemistry we're going to
0:58
fish another most unique locations that
1:00
we've ever been to and it's only a few
1:02
hours from Toronto we gain access to the
1:04
land for central area training center
1:06
near me Ford Ontario a military base
1:08
that just apples a month off to smaller
1:10
lakes in its interior which can only be
1:12
accessed by exclusive membership back in
1:15
the early 40s the me for bass was
1:16
expropriated because the Canadian Forces
1:18
had to have a place to Train their tank
1:20
and artillery crews in preparation for
1:21
World War two and it's been expanding
1:23
and evolving since then into what you
1:26
see occurring today by
1:29
we've got a crew of about 400 soldiers
1:32
and our job here primarily is to
1:35
instruct the combat soldiers on all of
1:37
their individual skills okay so a
1:53
training perspective for enough to have
1:55
an inland lake where the weather isn't
1:58
necessarily a factor and troops can
2:00
continue to do the water and ship
2:01
training which we do here and we do a
2:03
fair bit of it from a recreational
2:05
perspective we are extremely fortunate
2:07
to have something like this in our own
2:09
backyard that raises the quality of life
2:11
for everybody that lives here all set in
2:14
the middle of a very intensive busy
2:16
training center I'm low
2:19
[Music]
2:21
water the Parag today is called Mountain
2:24
Lake a gem of a lake but as we said
2:26
before is located in the LFC ATC army
2:29
base now we've been told that it's
2:31
loaded with fish but our problem is that
2:34
we've got a bit of a distraction onboard
2:35
on the black spots at the guiding the
2:37
base were telling us skin disease yeah
2:40
we're fishing out a pretty special piece
2:43
of water it's a military base called
2:45
Mountain Lake here in Ontario and the
2:47
court we're fishing for one of our
2:49
favorite species smallmouth bass but
2:51
more importantly than that we have a
2:53
very special guest today that we like to

7:34
entirely dedicating the military
7:35
personnel there is room for the public

8:14
1990s it was found that mountain lake
8:16
was actually being overfished but it
8:18
could be rehabbed
8:19
without a stocking program the immediate
8:21
solution was the introduction of a slot
8:23
limit let me tell you from our
8:25
experience this lake not hurting anymore
8:28
the
8:29
