Treble Hooks for Ice Fishing Trout are Legal In British Columbia Lakes if Not Otherwise Specified!

To Treble or Not to Treble, that is the question??? Ever since I have been fishing BC I've had people accuse me of breaking the law by using treble hooks. Seems most people have dreamed up the idea that single barbless hooks are mandatory at all times. This is not the regulations though and quite incorrect. If you read the regulations you will see that barbed hooks and trebles are allowed in many of BCs lakes. If fishing a lake and the regulations do not specify otherwise then you can use these type of hooks.

So I just wanted to clarify that since there seems to be some major confusion and flying accusations.

The next is that trebles do more damage. These small trebles actually do quite a small amount of damage compared to a larger typical replacement size of a single hook. Sure there are times that a fish can take a hook deep or get all three hook in upper and lower lip. It may be a bit harder to unbutton, but with forceps still relatively easy. To aid unkooking you can also pinch the treble barbs.

Anyways this is the spoon that was catching me the fish @northlandtackle Buckshot flutter spoon. Tipped with a tiny piece of worm.
