Yes @Canadian Anglerz, it can be complicated! And sometimes, to further complicate matters, a body of water may also have municipal-specific rules not listed in the provincial synopsis.
For example, at Green Timbers Lake, which is an artificial man-made lake, you are not permitted to wade in, or boat on, the water. At one point in time, you were also only permitted to use natural baits (worms/salmon eggs: yes, Powerbait: no) although I’m not sure if that’s still the case.
As complicated as the provincial synopsis is to understand, it’s worth the time to figure it out. With so many differing (and often incorrect) opinions out there, you don’t want to be on the wrong side of the law because some well-meaning, yet mis-informed person, steered you sideways. After you get some advice , always go back to the regs to double check what you were just told.
