Any South East Canada Fishermen?

I may be paying a visit to New Brunswick to visit family and wonder if there is any one that knows about the crappie situation.

I found some info on Sm Bass and pickerel but thats it. I also found that unless you are a resident you HAVE to fish with a guide, its the law. Theres 2 types of guides, ones that do it for free and ones that charge. THey do this so there are always guides to make sure all fishing regulations are followed. You have to take a test for the guiding permits. I thought its pretty smart although they are not exactly helping the tourists out but putting nature first. I wonder if a few places in America could not benefit from this type of law.
