What provinces allow use of gaffs for ice fishing

[mr blizzard]

As many know we moved up here 2 years ago, left the Barrie area.

 

Ontario allowed the use of gaffs for ice fishing BUT they are not allowed in the NWT. Many times you can land a fish without one but when u are up an ice road a 100 miles from anything it is nice on occassion to use a gaff on a fish u know u are going to bring home especially with the windchill factors u can encounter.

 

I have a meeting with the fisheries tomorrow and would appreciate a list of the provinces that allow them, even the COs could not totally understand it

 

Thanks in advance

if there is special regulations on some water bodies, like slot sizes, minimum sizes or no kill on some species, they may argue that gaffing a fish isn't cool when it has to be released

 

I think Alberta doesn't allow a gaff, Saskatchewan does
