Switching treble hooks to single hooks

[WallStreetAmigo]

Hi All,
The water up here in the great white north is starting to thaw out and it's almost lake fishing time, but until then I want to hit some of our rivers. One of the restrictions up here in B.C. is that you can only use a single, barbless hook in our river systems. I know this is a bass site, but the general question: Is it possible to change the hooks on a lure to a single hook without ruining the action of the lure? I have never done this, just fished them out of the box, so to speak, so any input would be appreciated.
