Directly from A Senior DFO Officer This Week: They have found that the $150 fine per barbed hook while fishing for Salmon is not deturing alot of anglers from breaking the law so there new policy this year is if you get caught fishing with a barbed hook or barbed hooks for Salmon they will seize ALL</u> your gear on the boat PERIOD</u> No excuses exceppted and no more warnings.
Also as another word of warning DFO are not just in there own boats they now are also riding with the Coast Guard Cutters and Zodiacs for full boat to boat inspections. This way they can cover more area's at a time and in more isolated areas.
Take This As A Formal Warning. This Is Not Second Hand Information
(No I Didn't Get Caught Running Barbed Hooks)
Check Your Gear Before You Put It In The Water A Mistake Could Cost You Alot of Money
