On the ice anywhere in BC

• Ice fish with one line and one lure, artificial fly or other terminal attractor.
• You are legally responsible for warning other people of your ice hole.
• Remove your ice hut before ice breakup.
• Set lines (an unattended line) are only allowed in the lakes of Region 6 and Region 7A: one line, one hook with a gap of at least 3 cm, marked with your name, address and phone number. Any game fish other than burbot caught on one must be released.
• Your basic licence runs for the licence year, April 1 to March 31, so a licence bought last spring expires before the end of the ice season.

Aerated lakes: dangerous thin ice

The synopsis warns of thin ice and open water from aeration on these lakes. Aerators run all winter; the ice around them never firms up.
