Last updated on January 20, 2025

This proposal is now closed for comments.

Summary: Peter Hope and Little Peter Hope Lakes changes to hook requirement and rainbow trout daily quota 

Status: Proposed

Region: 3, Thompson

Management unit (MU): 3-20

Regulation type: Method/Gear/Bait and Quota

Species: All fin fish

Closing date: January 17, 2025

Decision statement: Pending

Current regulation:

  • No Ice Fishing
  • Rainbow trout daily quota is 2
  • Bait ban
  • Single barbless hook

Proposed regulation:

  • No Ice Fishing
  • Rainbow trout daily quota is 5 (regional regulations)
  • Bait ban
  • Single hook

Rationale:

Peter Hope and Little Peter Hope Lakes proposal is consistent with regional direction to move from single barbless hooks to single hooks on small, stocked lakes. Increasing harvest limit to help combat natural recruitment coming from Peter Hope Creek and increase fish growth, condition and size. The risk of overharvest is reduced with winter closure.
