Doing the process yourself online is most likely the most convenient and easy way to obtain a license. Fees do differ based upon age, how long the licenses should be valid, and if you are a citizen of BC or Canada or not.
Special stamps may also be required if you are fishing for certain types of fish. Tidal licenses give you the right to fish any of the surrounding sea in BC. These types of licenses are needed if you plan on fishing for any type of shellfish or finfish in Canadian tidal waters.
Children under the age of 16 are free but must still obtain a licence. When you purchase your licence online, you must print it and carry it while fishing so that you can immediately record your chinook, ling cod or halibut catch on the licence in ink. This stamp is not required if anglers intend to release all salmon caught in non-tidal waters. An angler wishing to retain any species of salmon must purchase and attach a conservation stamp to their licence.
DFO provides all of the funds generated from stamp sales to the Pacific Salmon Foundation to support salmon restoration, stewardship and enhancement projects in British Columbia. The Pacific Salmon Foundation is the largest non-profit, charitable organization dedicated to conserving and rebuilding Pacific salmon populations.
The Foundation works in partnership with volunteer streamkeepers and community organizations to leverage the benefits of every dollar generated through the Salmon Conservation Stamp. The most important recreational fishing species are Pacific salmon and halibut, but bottom fish and shellfish are also harvested. There is also a growing interest in albacore tuna.
A variety of fishing opportunities are available, from shoreline fishing to staying at world class lodges. The recreational fishery and its businesses are part of the broader outdoor recreational and tourism sectors. They are major contributors to local economies, benefiting those that provide direct fishing services and service providers such as transportation and accommodation providers.
Non-tidal freshwater recreational fishing is managed by the B. The Branch establishes legislation, policies and procedures for managing fishing and hunting activities, and for allocating fish and wildlife resources for recreational and commercial use.
British Columbia provides policy advice on issues such as commercial and recreational allocation, catch monitoring and is responsible for recreational shellfish harvesting reserves. Clams, mussels and oysters can be harvested recreationally almost year-round on the B.
Surveys of Recreational Fishing in Canada collect information about recreational fishing activities to assess the economic and social importance of recreational fisheries to Canada's provinces and territories.
Information on recreational fisheries activities in Canada is based on the results of the Survey of Recreational Fishing in Canada, which is conducted every five years.
