Greetings Bags,
I'm sure that method would work but are you giving this "unlawful" advice as a joke or are you not aware of the regs? Check out the freshwater synopsis in the "Bait" section:
"Fin fish… the use of fin fish (dead or alive) or parts of fin fish other than roe is prohibited throughout the province, with the following exception: You may use the head of fin fish or the headless body of fin fish as bait, only:
(a) when sport fishing for sturgeon in Fraser River (Regions 2 and 7 only), or
(b) when set lining in lakes of Region 6 or in lakes of Zone A of Region 7."
As always, be informed and watch out what advice you follow. I've made that mistake before so now I always check the regs.
Cheers,
Alex
