Subject: FN0222-Licensing Information - Recreational Fisheries - 2015-2016 Tidal Waters Sport Fishing Licences and BC Sport Fishing Guide Available Soon
2015 - 2016 Tidal Waters Sport Fishing Licences:
2015 - 2016 Tidal Waters Sport Fishing Licences will be available for purchase
online March 19, 2015. You are encouraged to purchase your licence in advance.
The 2015 - 2016 licences become valid on April 1, 2015.
Licences can be obtained via any computer connected to the Internet at
www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/sportfish or by using Google search key words “Recfish
Licence”. In order to print a licence on a personal computer, you will need a
printer with 8.5 x 11 letter-sized paper, Adobe Reader, a compatible web
browser, and a valid credit or debit card.
To minimize system delays, the best time to access the National Recreational
Licensing System is outside of peak periods. Peak periods are every day from 12-
3pm; every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday; April 1st of each year; and anytime
there is a major fishery opening, such as the Fraser Sockeye opening.
If there is an emergency outage, limited internet connectivity or if you are
having trouble obtaining your licence, you can also visit an Independent Access
Provider; a list of current service locations may be found at
http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/rec/licence-permis/IAP-FAI-eng.pdf. If you
are a non-resident wishing to fish for halibut in Areas 23, 121, or 123, you
must acquire a licence through one of these locations.
Refunds will not be issued for licences purchased online, so please ensure your
licence selection (including the fishing year) is correct before you complete
your transaction.
2015 - 2016 Tidal Waters Recreational Fishery Season:
A revised British Columbia Tidal Waters Sport Fishing Guide (SFG) will be
available soon.
The printed version of the SFG will be condensed and will include static
information that does not change on a regular basis. In-season changes will be
communicated through improved website delivery.
For the most current information on recreational fisheries or to download a pdf
copy of the new SFG, visit the online BC Sport Fishing Guide website:
