I don’t no many heads that measure less then 1 cm out side of Ottawa.
you have to be able to prove that your fish is over 62 but under 80 of you marked it down on your License that you caught it in an area where there was a slot.
like a lot of people on here I leave the tail on with the fillet and most of the time the tail plus the fillet measured over 62. So removing the head is a non issue. In the small times where that wasent the case I kept the head on or took the chance.
the 80 max size pretty much means you have to keep the head. If you were fishing in an area with the slot till you return to your ordinary residence.
am I personally going to keep the head on if I visit the island and retain a fish that’s in the slot…,
