Current regulation: 

• Lake trout daily quota is 2 with no fish under 40 cm and only 1 fish over 60 cm
• Single barbless hook

Proposed regulation:

• Lake trout daily quota is 2 with no fish under 40 cm and no fish over 60 cm

This proposed change will allow harvest on the largest proportion of lake trout. This will potentially allow the growth of larger lake trout to allow for the possibility of trophy catches in the future.
