Title: Barbs in your tackle box? Post by PJinHawaii on Jun 22nd, 2010 at 3:59am
I've tried to read the Ontario fishing regs, but I still have a question... or two.
We are going to Quetico in August... 1. I understand that we can just smash down the barbs on our hooks and that is acceptable. But can we have hooks in our tackle box that have not yet been barb-smashed? Would we get in trouble for that if a ranger were to inspect our gear? (We'd like to practice just-in-time barb smashing to avoid smashing a hook that may not even get used on this trip.) 2. Also, I understand that live bait is prohibited. Presumably that is intended to avoid introducing invasive species. The way I read the regulations it is also against the rules to use minnows or leaches you might catch on the same lake where you plan to use them as bait? Do I have that right? No live bait, no matter where it comes from? Can anyone clarify the nuances of these rules for me? Thanks!! |
