"we we fishing the bottom when a regular came up and set up. he used a glowstick float, with a two foot leader and boilies."

Is it legal to use a glow float?

"
Unlawful to - use a light in any manner to attract fish,
unless the light is submerged and
attached to the fishing line within 1 m of
the hook.




- since the float is 99% submerged AND attached well within 1 meter(3 feet) of the hook, this setup is allowed. DFO has approved this setup for me in person.

what the regs are talking about is using a flashlight or boatlamp to attract fish.

The glow float is used to detect strikes. It's generally not bright enough to attract fish. I've seen them used in the Vedder in the fall.

anybody catch these carp on the fly?

Aren't carp predominately bottom feeders ?

yes but if the water that they are in is only 1 - 3 feet deep, it makes using a floatt easy!!

ie: deer lake from the shore- the water is only 2 feet deep for almost 40 feet out............
