Summary: Chief Gray Lake implementation of daily quota for rainbow trout and keep all other water-specific regulations

Status: Proposed

Region: 7a, Omineca

Management unit (MU): 7-12

Regulation type: Quota

Species: Rainbow trout

Closing date: January 17, 2025

Decision statement: Pending

Current regulation:

• No Fishing from November 1 to April 30

• Bait ban
• Single barbless hook

Proposed regulation:

• No Fishing from November 1 to April 30
• Rainbow trout quota is 1 with no fish over 40 cm
• Bait ban
• Single barbless hook

Rationale:

Allowing retention of one fish less than 40 cm provides a retention opportunity for users while maintaining trophy status by keeping larger fish in the system. This retention opportunity may allow for increased effort.
