Tako, Bc's regs have always sucked in one way or another. I remember being on the Island about 20 years ago wanting to fish an area around Nanaimo. The regs stated something along this line for a particular stretch of river "Fishing is allowed between the boulder located 100 feet south of the hydro tower crossing and downstream to that portion which flows north." I remember looking at this and thinking "WTF ? They don't want anyone fishing do they?" So I talked to a sporting goods guy that worked at Zellers (I think), who directed me to a guy he knew at Macmillan Bloedel, who in turn gave me the maps for the area (which I think they were required to do at the time), which in turn were found to have no useful information, which in turn led me to contact Macmillan Bloedel again to get the right maps. Then my buddy and I proceeded to follow the maps into the area only to find the logging roads had been altered thus not allowing access to where we wanted to go. Never fished BC for another 5 years or so.
The regs have definitely improved, or I've become wiser.
