Fishing on the Humber River.

Get out your lures, Waterkeeper goes fishing at the barricades! With fishing season gathering steam, Living at the Barricades goes on a search for fish from Lake Ontario. Part 1 of our fishing special features guidelines for enjoying your right to eat local fish. Mark Mattson provides a poetic portrait of his favourite fisherman and Living At the Barricades reveals “The Fish of the Week.” Tune in to find out which fiesty fish is this week’s catch.

This week’s show also includes an audio tour of Project Fishnet at the York Quay Gallery in Toronto. For more information about Project Fishnet, contact project leads Angela Iarocci or Claire Ironside, info@projectfishnet.org. Many thanks to Angela Iarocci, student John Angus and the Harbourfront Centre for the gallery tour.

Tune in next week for an interview with a professional fishing guide, a delicious recipe, threats to fish habitat and populations, and more!
