Unfortunately, some styles and sizes of legal traps are very effective at catching and drowning turtles. This is particularly concerning for the Western Painted Turtle, a native species whose population health is vulnerable to human activities. Anglers are encouraged to use traps with minimally-sized circular openings, to reduce the chance of capturing turtles. 68 2021-2023 BC Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis REGION 8 - Okanagan Water-Specific Regulations WATER BODY | MGMT UNIT EXCEPTIONS TO THE REGIONAL REGULATIONS ALLEYNE LAKE 8-6 Engine power restriction - 7.5 kW (10 hp) ARLINGTON LAKES 8-12 Yellow perch daily quota = 20 ASHNOLA RIVER 8-3 Exempt from spring closure ASP (China) CREEK 8-5 Exempt from spring closure BAIRD LAKE 8-25 Electric motors only BIGHORN RESERVOIR 8-11 Electric motors only (Lakeview Irrigation District) No Fishing “BLUEY LAKE POTHOLES” 8-6 Includes all unnamed lakes within 2 km of Bluey Lake (except Bluey Lake itself and Kentucky Lake) BUCK LAKE 8-6 See Leonard Lake No Ice Fishing Trout/char release BURNELL (Sawmill) LAKE 8-1 Artificial fly only, bait ban, single barbless hook WARNING!
