I've joked with friends that you basically need to be a lawyer to figure out the fishning rules and regulations (area; sections; river/water portion restructions; bait ban; definintion of bait; retention; size; hooks; adult fish size definition; updated restrictions; and the list goes on  But truly, I know the fisheries people are doing their best, but there has GOT to be a simpler way of proividing guidance for recreational fishermen.  Some of the experienced anglers on this site are gracious enough to clarify some rules, but in the end, but does it really need to be that complicated?  I'm not looking of an answer here...just venting   :-\

Couldn't agree more.

Compared to the Washington fishing regs, the BC regs are crystal clear.

c'mon ... you don't get " upstream from the upstream.... "

lol , it is pretty confusing sometimes , especially if you are fishing a new river system or area .

I just found out about " classified waters " ... I have not fished in those area's yet , so thankfully i have time to figure out what that actually means.

leave it to a gov't agency to keep it confusing .
