Original Toronto Star caption: Roseanne Leonard, 47, a grandmother of nine, has fished the Rainy River since she was so young she had to be tied to her parents' boat. But she hasn't this year since cancer-causing dioxins turned up in fish samples taken by U.S. officials. Fellow fisherman Murray Bombay, 27, says, ''I'd like to get back into fishing but I won't if the fish isn't any good.''
