"leave a fishing line unattended in the water"

Of course, if you're using these for survival then it's unlikely there's going to be a conservation officer around to fine you. And if there is, consider the fine the fare you paid to get a ride back to civilization with the CO. :)

There are exceptions, around here it is very common to use set lines for burbot.

Page 9 BC freshwater fishing regulations (not the sport fishing guide.)

"you may only fish with a set line (an unattended line) in lakes of Region 6
& in lakes of Zone A of Region 7. You are allowed to use only one line with one hook (no smaller than 3 cm from point to shank - see below). Any game fish that you catch other than burbot must be released. Set lines must be marked with angler’s name, address and telephone number."

Next time I buy stuff, I'll add these to my cart. Humm, in a SHTF scenario, I wonder if there's anything to catch in the Don River other than a shoe, old tire or occasional shopping cart. lol

Of course.. eating this fish would have the same repercussions as sharing syringes in a junkie house, a lifetime of unprotected ### and licking the pole on the TTC.

I go across the Lions Gate Bridge every day and I always get creeped out when I see guys fishing at the mouth of the Capilano River... which is literally right next to a sewage treatment plant. :puke:
 
I had to laugh at the highly illegal fishing methods . I carry large snagging trebble hooks in my survival kit (also a highly illegal fishing method) however upon deploying such tactics a Fish and wildlife officer or a concerned member of the public is sure to step out of the bush and place you in cuffs . They will drag you away and force feed you hot food in a comfy cell . INSTANT RESCUE .Maybe a side note FOR REAL SURVIVAL PURPOSES ONLY is required for the packaging .

Fishing is the one thing that's always bothered me about survival planning. I don't really like fish. Not a big fan of the taste, can't stand the smell and I worry that it'll attract bears. Of course, after going without food for a couple of days, fish might start seeming like manna from heaven :)

That being said, those are some pretty neat hooks and at $4 a piece you can't go wrong tossing a few of these in your kit. Does anyone here have any experience using this kind of hook?

You answerd your own question, bait the hood catch a fish, wait for bear to arrive..... shoot bear now you have food, shelter, mits and boots.... this just went from survival to a great week away in the bush!!!
 
Mils Specs, the funny thing is, the hooks arent illegal, fishing with them isnt illegal, apparently walking away from your fishing stuff is.
