Fanshawe conservation area - fishing advice

Interested in fishing at Fanshawe Conservation Area and would like to get good fish. Would like to ask for tips like:

  1. Where's a good spot for good fish? (Im not expecting big fish but if there is, well hope as well could get some!)
  2. Is it allowed to cook the fish you catch from the dam? And even if it is legal, do you think the fish there are safe to eat (cooked of course)? I grew up in a tropical island so I'm used to cooking saltwater fishes and have really 0 to no problems dealing with health paranoia in fishes.
  3. Additional cool tips would be appreciated, thanks! :)

How do you implement kids w/ discipline like less screen time and encourage learning new skills?

I am a 20 y/o brother and my sister is 10 years old. My parents mostly do not have time for my sister so I'm usually the only person left with her at home. Problem is, I've been observing her use the phone all day and do nothing but watch reels or play games but I really don't want her to do that anymore.

She's struggling to understand simple things whenever I try to explain something and that might probably be correlated to the screentime she has with her phone and watch or listen to brain rot reels (i've read research about cognitive decline the less you use your brain) and this time I want her to learn ACTUAL skills. We've recently bought a keyboard and I want her to learn the keyboard (please note i am not forcing her to get obsessed with keyboard, or do the keyboard at all, she herself asked for a keyboard)

I know the actual solution is to cut the screen time of the phone but most of the time I get guilt tripped when she says that "I barely have time to connect with my friends" or "I've been doing this ____ all day long and i dont want to anymore." (let's say the underline is the trained skill like keyboard piano lessons, or ukelele lessons, etc.) I really want her to focus or enjoy on a skill and do it for like 1-3 hours but she absolutely can't just set her mind on to it and I don't understand why. She doesn't even study anymore and most of her time is spent on reels and whatever, and I really dont know how to solve this problem.

In summary, y only problem is that I know the solution is to cut off screen time but every time she complains I get guilty and have pity on her so I end up letting her use the phone instead. Please help, Thank you.

Piano teachers on youtube suggestions

Hello everyone, I need help for the best piano teaching youtube channel because my sister (10 yo) wants to learn how to play piano. I am looking for a piano teacher on youtube where the vibes is good for children, I don't really want the vibe where the teacher is really that old school scary strict because I dont want my sister to be disappointed.

she is still a kid and I want her to enjoy playing keyboard, and I am so desperate for advice because I don't want our keyboard to sit at home untouched. (she asked for a keyboard btw so its not like im forcing her to strictly do piano lessons on youtube like a prisoner)
