07/16/2022 07:13AMtimatkn: "going non lead is recommended but is not a regulation for Quetico. It shouldn't be confusing. You have state parks and national parks. Canada has national parks and provincial parks. Pretty straightforward. And helpfully, either "National" or "Provincial" is identified in the name of every park. Speaking of park names, none of them is preceded by the article "The". Sorry for the rant, Tim. It's just cringeworthy when I hear it. Calling it The Quetico would be like saying The Yosemite, The Yellowstone or The Algonquin. |

07/15/2022 06:29PM And only hooks tied to your line need to be barbless. Your entire tackle box can have lures with barbs, but when tied to your line, the barbs must be crimped down or be barbless. |

07/15/2022 03:53PM going non lead is recommended but is not a regulation for Quetico. This is the special regs attachment for The Quetico otherwise you follow the regs for Zone 5 Quetico Provincial Park • Only artificial lures may be used • Only barbless hooks may be used Per Minnesotian's post Quetico is a Provincial Park not a Canadian National Park. It can be confusing. T |

07/15/2022 03:44PM According to the 2022 Fishing Ontario Regulations Summary on Page 11: "Lead Sinkers and Jigs – It is illegal to use or possess lead fishing sinkers or jigs in Canada’s National Parks and National Wildlife Areas." Source: https://files.ontario.ca/ndmnrf-2022-fishing-regulations-summary-en-2021-12-13.pdf Since Quetico is a Provincial Park, and not a National Park nor a National Wildlife Area, lead sinkers and jigs, from my understanding, are technically not banned there, but like you have encountered, recommended not to use. Call the Quetico Park information line at 807-597-2735 if you want their answer. |

07/15/2022 01:59PM Hi. Reviewing the fishing regs for quetico and the Ontario website says no barbs and recommend no lead. Is there somewhere else that it says its not allowed, vs a recommendation? Thanks |
