The Lake Ontario Fishing Expo & Flea Market was put together by LOTSA to help with funding of the Trout & Salmon Pen Rearing programs along the Niagara and Orleans County shoreline. These Pen Rearing projects successfully reared over 182,750 Trout & Salmon in 2007 and are expecting similar numbers again for 2008. These projects take a significant amount of man power and $$ to run. The typical pen costs over $1,400.00 and requires ongoing maintenance year after year.
The Expo will also
help satisfy the needs of the Lake Ontario Fishermen who have cabin fever at
this time of the year by offering a series of seminars and the latest on both
new and used tackle to purchase. We expect to have 46 tables manned by
experienced Captains looking to sell both the tackle they rep for and some of
their used equipment along with talking fishing. If your thinking about booking
a Charter for 2008 this will be an excellent opportunity to to make that
decision. With Spring right around the corner, use this opportunity to get the
information and tackle that you need for the 2008 season.
Food and beverages will be available for purchase on site.
Admission is $5.00 per person with all proceeds going towards the Local Pen Rearing Projects
