Motor Restrictions on Remote lakes

[atvaholic]

Hi, Just wondering if there is a resource somewhere that explains if a boat motor can be used on certain lakes...its usually the remote ones I like to fish. I did some googling but couldnt seem to find any.

The only restrictions would potentially be in parks.

If you have enough money to fly in, you can do whatever you want

Not necessarily, here is a link to all the marine restrictions in Canada as noted on the Department of Justice Website:

It is accurate to March 22, 2011. It also provides lakes that have speed restrictions, restrictions to towing devices, etc. Hope it helps.

Back lakes in the middle of nowhere surrounded by crown land have no restrictions.

Thanks, thats what I wanted to hear...I think my spring plans just changed :-)

just dont forget that back lakes are generaly small. the noise from you engine will most

likely spook the fish and turn them off.

 

just my take on things.

Sometimes when the fishing gets slow we start the motor and idle it for a minute to stir things up and get the fish biting again. Even in winter we will run a sled around the holes.

ice fishing is completly different. i do the same.

 

soft water on back lakes is a different game...

Yeah, we do have a trolling motor. In a larger lake I will use the gas to get us to the general area, then use trolling motor. Smaller lakes are paddle or trolling motor only.
