Quinte Fishing

Hello,

I've got another question concerning the number of lines per person. If you are fishing east of the ferry, you are allowed to fish with two lines per person. So does this mean you can run one line off a downrigger with say a crankbait and then run a cheater of the same rod? Does this count as one line? Or is there a ruling on how many hooks per line including cheaters? If this is the case, then most boats would have rigs that look like christmas trees.

I believe the total number of treble hooks allowed on a line (including cheaters/sliders) is 3.

The following text was excerpted from Ontario's fishing regulations:

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 5). A fishing line must not
have more than four hooks attached. Where an artificial lure is used, each double or treble hook attached to it is considered to be one hook. In all other situations, a double hook counts as two hooks; and a treble hook counts as three hooks.
