B.C. Fishing Licences and RegulationsDepending on where you intend to fish in British Columbia will determine the type of Fishing Licence you will require.
For all freshwater fishing you will need a licence issued by the provincial government and if you intend to fish in Tidal (Saltwater) you will need a licence from the federal government. You will also need a special licence to fish in a National Park which is provided within the park.
Awww for the good old days when all you needed was a pole and hook to enjoy the great outdoors fishing. You might even debate if the licencing process actually produces any positive revenue after the layers of governemnet are paid for but we all know governments are always looking for a way to pick your pocket.
However, this is one tax (licencing is just another tax) which has some enjoyable benefits making it all worthwhile. Remember if you always caught fish they would call it 'catching' but you notice we always call it 'fishing'.
