Licence Renewal Season is Here

The end of March is definitely the start of spring here on the coast. That's not to say we don't ever have snow in April, as it has happened, but it is obvious when you look around that spring is arriving.

The other thing that the end of March brings is fishing licence renewal. Both salt water and fresh water licences run from April 1 - March 31. Anyone who fishes tidal waters must have a licence on them, regardless of age. A fresh water licence is required by anyone 16 and up.

Freshwater licences are regulated by the BC Government, and you can find more information here: Fish and Wildlife Freshwater Licence

If you already have a licence, don't forget to renew before April 1!
