A salmon conservation stamp ($6.36) must be affixed to licences held by anglers, both adult and juvenile, wishing to retain any species of Pacific salmon. The stamp is annual.
If a licence is lost or accidentally destroyed, a replacement licence must be obtained prior to resuming fishing, and can be acquired at no cost from any licence vendor. The vendor will ask you to complete and sign a Statement of Loss describing the disposition of the original licence. It is illegal to hold more than one licence.
For information on Non-tidal Angling Licence categories and current fees, please visit the provincial government’s website at: http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/fish/licences/classified-licences.html
Angling licence information for non-tidal waters is also available in the annual British Columbia Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis.
NEW: As of September 2007, individuals may purchase and pay online for a Freshwater Fishing Licence for recreational purposes at: http://www.fishing.gov.bc.ca
Your Non-tidal Angling Licence must be validated with a provincial salmon conservation stamp to keep a salmon of any legal size or species (other than kokanee) from non-tidal waters. A stamp is not required if you intend to release all salmon caught, however a provincial Non-tidal Angling Licence is still required.
