This has been floating around on some web sites. Just wondering if we can fish 3 rods in the lake. I'm not planning on jigging with 3

Here's the link

Confirming that Michigan will be 3 rods per person...

Canadian River – One line per person, four hooks per line (treble is considered one hook).

Michigan – Three rods per person, maximum 6 hooks total. All hooks attached to an artificial bait are counted as 1 hook.

You are responsible for knowing what waters you are fishing in and following the regulations for that body of water.

Talia,canada has changed there Regs this year and they are now allowing two rods in the river.

Here is what I have found on the Michigan DNR site...

Detroit River - MI
3 rods/angler

Detroit River - Canada
1 line/angler


Lake Erie - MI
3 rods/angler

Lake Erie - Canada
2 lines/angler


However...our boundaries do NOT include the Canadian part of Lake Erie.

Could you let me know where to verify your statement?

Thanks,

Talia,

All of what you stated is correct. In Detroit River of Canada, you are allowed 4 hooks total. If a bait has live bait, a treble hook is counted as 3 hooks. If no live bait, a treble is 1 hook. Stupid, I know.

You are allowed a total of 4 hooks in Canada portion of Detroit River and use the above to determine the number of hooks.

Just thought I'd clarify.

I just talked to the Canadian DNR and they have changed the treble hook ruling.

Their definition of a hook: any single point or multiple point on a single shaft (regardless of using live or artificial bait).

So, for the Canadian part of Detroit River:

1 line/angler
4 hooks/line

Treble is considered one hook.

For any questions, you may contact Greg with the Canadian DNR - 800-667-1940.

Also, if you are planning on fishing in Canada, you must have a non-resident fishing license. It takes 4-6 weeks through the DNR or you can go to a governement office.
