I have a few questions as they pertain to Lake Ontario fishing and its related
tributaries. I am hoping you can shed some light on these issues. As the regulations
pertain to ...
1. "Any weight added to the line, leader, swivels, artificial fly or lure shall not
hang lower than the hook when the line or leader is held vertically."
Does this regulation forbid a drop shot rig? I like using a night crawler tied above a
weight so that the weight sits on the bottom and the hook suspends above it. Is this set
up illegal and if so is it only regulated from 9/1 - 3/31? The hooks I use are often tied
to a nylon (i believe nylon) leader.
2. "Only one hook with a single hook point is permitted, except as outlined below
for floating lures and artificial flies."
Does this forbid sinking lures with treble hooks? Again, only from 9/1 - 3/31?
3. "Hooks attached to any lure must be free-swinging, except on an artificial
fly"
What about a jig head which has an attached hook that is thread through a plastic lure?
9/1 - 3/31?
Thank you for clarification on this. Some of these issues are confusing and would benefit
from further clarification.
