The Lake Erie dispute over sport and commercial fishing cooled to a low key stage with both sides pausing bans. Canada’s fisheries minister Romeo LeBlanc said Canadian waters remain open to recreational anglers, calming rumors of a wider conflict. U S Coast Guard prepared to seize entering vessels but limited actions, while fishermen warned of boycotts and urged restraint as summer patterns shift toward Ontario walleye concentrations. Channel Grove owners said effects would be limited if commercial nets stay away from walleyes.
