We are also probably enforcing this more this year because the volume of people using our parks and waterfront parks in particular has gone up significantly this year since everyone is having a staycation,” said Mark.“We just see a real safety issue with people fishing and pedestrians in such close proximity to each other, being on the pier, being on the walkways that are adjacent to the lake.”Mark said fishing has traditionally been permitted off the lake side of the West Bronte Pier, which is less popular with pedestrians.However, that pier has been closed for some time due to damage it received from ice and high-water levels last year.Repairs have since been carried out and Mark said that pier is expected to reopen for fishing in the coming weeks.Longtime Oakville fisher Andrew Howarth, 25, says this is the first he has heard about a bylaw prohibiting fishing from any pier in Oakville.“If there was a bylaw at any time prior to this year it wasn’t enforced at all,” he said.Howarth said he has seen ‘no fishing’ signs at the Bronte Marina in the past, but says he gets that, noting the boat owners don’t want the risk of their property being damaged.With the pier, however, Howarth questions who he and his friends are hurting, arguing the chances of a pedestrian being injured by someone fishing are slim.“In Bronte, in the downtown there is a baseball park that is beside a road.

It’s much more likely, I think, that a baseball would go astray and hit someone or end up in someone’s backyard,” he said.“But you don’t shut down the baseball field because that might happen … Without any documented proof stating this is the problem, this is the solution, I don’t think you should go around banning people from using a public space how they please, especially an activity that doesn’t harm anybody.”Horwath said he believes some of the pedestrians who walk along the pier see fishers as an eyesore and questions whether that is what is behind the signs.If that is the case, Horwath calls it unfair, noting he and other local anglers regularly clean up the litter at the pier that others have left behind.Puzio pointed out that fishers have made use of the East Bronte Pier since its construction around 200 years ago.He also noted the pier is home to the Bronte Fishermen’s Memorial, which recognizes the significance of fishing in the history of Bronte.The Oakville native said he worries about what will happen in the fall when he says crowds of hundreds of people typically gather at the piers to enjoy salmon season.An Oakville angler says he’s stunned to learn that fishing at many of the places he previously enjoyed could now net him a $300 fine.For that reason, he says he was shocked when a friend recently sent him a photo of a ‘no fishing’ sign at the pier, which prohibits fishing from April 15 to Nov. 15.“The main fishing season is late August to the end of September, and they’ve banned that time,” said Puzio.The Holy Trinity Catholic Secondary School graduate says other ‘no fishing’ signs have gone up at the Oakville pier on Sixteen Mile Creek, a favourite fishing point for many in the community.“I know guys who fish there who are 85 years old and they have been fishing there since they were 15,” says Puzio.Officials with the Town of Oakville, however, say this is nothing new.The town’s director of parks and open space, Chris Mark, said for more than 25 years fishing has been prohibited in Oakville’s harbours and off the various waterfront parks between April and November.He noted during that period the waterfront is busy with boat and pedestrian traffic and as such fishing is prohibited for safety reasons.“I think people are seeing more of the signs this year because we have put up more.
