This is really unprofessional IMO.

It is illegal to angle with more than one fishing line in any lake, stream or river. The exception is a person who is alone and in a boat on a lake, who may have more than one line.

Incorrect, two is the maximal number of lines an angler can have on his or her boat when alone.

WOW, were the regs written and printed in freaking toronto or something????

Page 54 The Steelhead picture printed in the guide is incorrect - it shows a
pink salmon.  This has been corrected on the website version.


I can't believe these types of mistakes actually made it to print, what a waste of taxpayer dollars...

:(

Really sloppy work. How can they realistically expect anglers to be up on their regulations whey DFO is issuing amendments to the amendments to the regulations ?

Didn't they have this problem with the LAST year's regs as well?

No wonder they think our steelhead run is doing well.. we get a few million every two years ;)
