Reviewing the fishing regs, it says "It is illegal to ... angle with a fishing line to which more than one hook, artificial lure or artificial fly is attached except...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". http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/rec/law-loi/restrictions-eng.htm
As I read it, that says you can use dual hook set ups with anchovies and herring, for salmon and halibut -- BUT you can only use single hooks with hootchies.
I talked to a woman at DFO who confirmed this. Interesting, especially given 90% of them are sold with two single hooks!
Is this a recent change or the way it always has been? Anyone ever had any static with DFO enforcement on this?
