There is absolutely nothing to be confused about.
Single barbless hook means single barbless hook.
If a lure or jig or whatever comes from the tackle shop with a second hook on it, then you either don't use that lure or jig, or you remove one of the hooks.
BC does have a nice rule though for most lakes that if you are alone in a boat, you can fish with 2 lines....but that does not have anything to do with the single barbless hook rule for the lure or jig on each line. Whatever your offering or bait is, it must be a single barbless hook if that is what the restrictions for that body of water are.
As for both Conservation Officers and DFO Officers, I've witnessed the unfortunate reality that 'some' of them are completely useless in both understanding and implementing the rules. And a good CO or DFO isn't going to give you the time of day when you tell them that the last CO or DFO you spoke to said 'such and such' was ok. It is up to YOU to know the regulations of the body of water you are fishing.

with a bucktail I'd suggest cutting the bend off the first hook (the hook to which the bucktail is tied) and leaving the stinger.
If you tie your own buy some tubes and tie the bucktail on the tube: A couple of videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-orDxo0AnoQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OADEG4ZzZDw |

http://www.fishingwithrod.com/yabbse/index.php?topic=41076.0 And this is definitely one example of a CO says you can fish in a lake that has a single barbless hook restriction with Bucktails and plugs. Rob |

from Pg. 4 of the synopsis See this is part of the grammatical confusion, I don’t believe this says you can’t, it alludes to the “treble” argument. I am in fact going to walk into the conservation office tomorrow. I’ll let you know what they say! Rob |

from Pg. 4 of the synopsis
Single Hook: it is prohibited to angle with a hook with more than one point on waters that are subject to a single hook regulation. Single hook regulations may be in place year round or seasonally. Where single hook regulations are in place on a water body it applies to angling for all species. Often single hook regulations are combined with barbless hook regulations and termed “single barbless hook”. Barbless Hook: it is prohibited to use a hook with a barb on waters subject to a barbless hook regulation. Barbless hook regulations may be in place year-round or seasonally. Where barbless hook regulations are in place on a water body, it applies to angling for all species. Often barbless hook regulations are combined with single hook regulations and termed “single barbless hook”. What you are asking about is, is a stinger hook (the trailing hook on a bucktail) prohibited under these regulations. I don't know though I have always thought so. Try emailing your question to fishandwildlife@gov.bc.ca |

I am looking for a definitive actual answer on this question.
I can find very definitive “opinions” on both sides, but surely there is an actual answer with proof, yet I haven’t been able to find it. I’ve even read, “a conservation office told me it is ok” and “a conservation officer told me it isn’t allowed”. When a lake in BC has an exception of “single barbless hook” does that mean you can only fish one line with one hook with one pointy end? Or does it mean, each hook should only have one pointy end? I want to troll a Bucktail in a lake with “single barbless hook” but a Bucktail has a trailing hook. Or I want to troll a plug with two single barbless hooks on the plug. Yes, I could modify a lure to only have one pointy end, but that’s obviously not the point of this post. Any insight, with proof, would be great. Rob |

Two days ago I went for a walk and wade on a true urban stream just 10 minutes from my home and caught this very nice cutthroat literally under the bridge over a major roadway. I made my day and perhaps my week.

Custom made hitch winch for sale (mostly for boats with launch wheels). Depending on the condition/angle of the boat launch or trying to pull your boat out of a soft river bank it can be really difficult and this has proven to be a game changer. |
