adempsey Posted June 22, 2011 Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 As per the 2011 MNR Fishing Regulations for Ontario: Hooks and Lines – An angler may use only one line, unless otherwise stated in the regulations. Two lines may be used when angling from a boat in parts of the Great Lakes (see exceptions to the general regulations) and for ice fishing in many areas (see Ice Fishing, page 11). A fishing line must not have more than four hooks attached. Hook – A hook includes a single-pointed or multiple-pointed hook on a common shaft but does not include a snagger or spring gaff. The number of hooks includes any single-pointed or multiple-pointed hooks that are part of a lure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks ! hope this help try this one two http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/stdprodconsume/groups/lr/@mnr/@letsfish/documents/document/stel02_178932.pdf Angling is defined in the Ontario Fishery Regulations as “fishing with a line to which one or more hooks are attached and that is held in the hand or is attached to a rod that is held in the hand or closely attended.” No more than four hooks may be attached to the end of a line while angling. An angler is restricted to the use of only one line while fishing during the open water season. Two lines are allowed while fishing from a boat on the open waters of the Great Lakes (Note: There are exceptions in some designated areas). The provincial standard allows the use of two closely attended lines while ice fishing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
