Flooded-out farmer needs permit to remove fish

Bureaucrats have added insult to injury for a corn farmer south of Montreal whose fields have been damaged by near-record flooding.

Martin Reid says he's been forced to buy a fishing licence to remove carp that are swimming in a metre of water on his flooded-out fields.

He says he bought the permit to avoid the problems he faced the last time he was forced to remove fish from his flooded farmland. In 1993, Reid was fined $1,000 for illegal fishing.

I was expecting California.  Canada is a close second.

I read that the other day.  Why not just put a mesh around the pump intake to block the fish?  Once he drains all the water , he'll have some extra fertilizer.
