Treble hooks can be used in Region 2 lakes unless otherwise stated in the regulation.

http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/fish/regulations/docs/1315/fishing_synopsis_2013-15_region2.pdf

For example, if you look under Ross Lake, Alta Lake, it states that only single barbless hooks are allowed.

Really? I've always told people single barbless everywhere mins salt. HAH! Boy was I wrong.

Yeah, probably a good idea to read the regulations...

Rod - in a post months back you mentioned a situation where treble hooks are a better choice for protecting one species while targeting another (perhaps to do with Kokanee), but I can't seem to find that thread.
I always swap my Blue Foxes to a single barbless and wouldn't think of using a treble hook even if I had some in my tackle box. Other that ensuring the fish has a far slimmer chance of spitting the hook - what is the benefit?

[Rodney]

That was a post about a couple of studies I read which suggest small trebles do less damage than larger singles. I think the idea is that the treble is usually hooked onto around the mouth instead of deep down, only causing minor external damages. I've caught fish on a treble and the fish swallowed the entire hook, two of the three points would be jammed deep down the throat and the fish was pretty much a goner, so I'll stick to my singles… With singles, picking the size of the hook can really influence the mortality of your catches as well. A big single hook can instantly kill a small fish, small single hook can be swallowed by a big fish. Choose your hook wisely for the fish you are targeting. Dan's trailing hook rigging solves a lot of these issues.
