Another regs question

You can absolutely eat a fish while out on a trip. It does count for your daily limit but once eaten it is not part of your possession for that trip.

eating the smallest chinook is a trip tradition

This is, once again, a clear example of how a few bad actors can ruin it for the majority of law abiding fishers.

Yes you can transport other peoples catch, there is a clear procedure.

Please post, because I had this discussion with a conservation officer on the weekend, and it was abundantly clear you cannot. They recognize it is a controversial regulation, but they don't write them.

This was my post from last Friday. It doesn't outline a procedure [like the earlier post about the 2014 FN did], but it says you can as outlined.

This is DFO's second answer about transporting other people's fish:

‘Generally, no. Although a fisher may transport up to their possession limit of compliant fish, regardless of the ownership of the fish.’

So it looks like you can transport other people's fish, but only if the number of fish doesn't exceed the limits of the people travelling together.

Sorry I was incorrect, I edited my original post, probably should have sooner. It was an old regulation
