I am going to be fishing a Musky Sanctuary the end of June in Ontario. It is single barbless hook with no live bait only.
I am thinking Big swimbaits with a saltwater jig, maybe some musky chatterbaits, adn wire arm spinnerbaits. Maybe a big silver minnow if I can find it.
Anybody have other lure ideas for that type of fishing reg?

Shadzilla Jr. Just take the treble off. I'm sure you could take some in-lines and remove the treble(s) and add just a single hook.

Lilly tail bucktails come with a single hook as do eagle tails(multiple singles) just pinch down the barbs. I would think an inline buzzbait would be a good hooking topwater with sigle hooks on it as would a musky buster topwalker style topwater with the trebles replaced. Is the regulation for one sigle hook or can you run two? As for barbless, you can pinch the down with a pliers or hold the hook with a pair of vicegrips and remove them with a grinding bit on a dremel tool.

From what the owners of the campground told me it is a single barbless hook, I take that to mean no trebles.

Then i would de-barb some single siwash hooks and put them on a few bucktails you already own and maybe pick up a topwalker and replace the trebles with singles so you can have a topwater prop bait that will still hook well. I would imagine in the end of June you would be dealing with postspawn semi-agressive fish, so the bucktails and topwater bite should be where it's at. Another option for less agressive fish would be the red october tubes rigged with the jig/single hook trailer set up.

After doing some more research a single treble hook should be legal so that opens up more options like bulldawgs with the top hook cut off, regular bucktails, lots of stuff. Can't wait...supposedly alot of tiger musky's in there too.

I know a guide that replaces the 2 hooks on the shallow invader with 1 7/0 hook on the front hanger.
Worth a shot.
