Question re understanding the tidal regs
« on: July 14, 2014, 07:43:57 PM »
Is it permissible to angle for cutthroat trout in tidal waters with a plug that has two treble lures attached, provided the hooks are barbless. For example http://abigfishandtackle.com/Floating-Minnow-Shiner-F03-F03-SH.htm
The tidal regs state that it is illegal to angle with a fishing line to which more than one hook, artificial lure or artificial fly is attached. http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/rec/law-loi/restrictions-eng.html

In the case of this Rapala, it's my understanding that it's not the line that has more than one hook, it's the lure, so it would not be illegal to use it.

•angle with a fishing line to which more than one hook, artificial lure or artificial fly is attached except: ◦in the tidal portion of the Fraser River you can use two hooks, artificial lures or artificial flies, attached to a fishing line; and
◦in tidal waters any number of hooks attached to a fishing line if the hooks are used in combination to hold a single piece of bait; and
◦in tidal waters when fishing for Herring, Northern Anchovy, Pacific Sand Lance or Squid you may use any number of hooks on a fishing line.

I believe you could interpret those 2 hooks holding together the one piece of bait (lure) in this case.

My thoughts, since no one else.

Only single point hooks are allowed in the tidal portion of the Fraser River, no treble hooks. Each lure must only has one hook, not two.

I understand that, gents, however I am not fishing in the tidal Fraser, I am not fishing with bait, and I am only angling for cutthroat.

The guide also says this on page 14 "Barbless hooks are required for all salmon and sea-run trout
fishing. Barbless treble hooks are acceptable in most areas"...then there are some exceptions
