From page 26 of the regs.
Snares
Snares cannot be used for hunting, except by the holder of a
resident small game licence taking varying hares north of the
French and Mattawa rivers with a snare constructed of copper
or brass wire between 22 and 24 gauge. The opening of the
snare wire loop must be 10 cm (4 in.) or less in diameter.
Licensed trappers may use snares under conditions specified in
the trapping regulations.

I know little about trapping but am always amazed at how many regulations there are. Almost requires a PHd in trapping regulations.

Are the small snare spools at Canadian Tire fine? I don't mean size - I can figure that out -, but quality-wise.

Thanks! Good to know.
I have not been having luck timing my stomps with the hare's travels. There are a few good spots for snares though.
I know what I'm picking up this weekend. ;-)

So, how many times per day to check them? Is there a best time of day?
I've got 7 out right now. No luck so far.

I check them once per day, but that is weather dependant. Usually, constantly cold here, so they stay frozen and I'll grab em once a day. If it's mild warm/rainy etc, where you are, then you may want to check twice a day.
Best time of day for checking? not really, they do most of their running at night when the temps drop, so I usually check in the morning. The best time to really set them out is if you see some really cold temps coming. Also a good time to setup is right after those cold temps, when their "highways" get established.
Also, be sure you are "funneling" them into your set, use sticks, etc, to drive them through the hole your snare is in.
Good luck!
