I noticed some koi and carp in a few of the ponds in queen elizabeth park and was wondering if you could fish for them.

I think the Vancouver Parks Board employees were a bit lazy or forgetful and left out the No Fishing sign.  I would just email them and if they reply back, you can print it out as proof of permission to fish.  There's not a lot a room to cast without hitting a duck or a tourist anyways.

Will you? First off, it's a bylaw infraction, not criminal code offence. So, a fine at best.

Secondly, no mention of fishing restrictions in the City of Vancouver Parks and Rec website that I can see, and only one mention of fishing in the City bylaws prohibiting fishing on, or near,  a swimming beach.

So, based upon the information available to me, and unless there is a sign for prohibiting it...I say fill yer boots! :)

ED Note: this is not legal advice and should be taken with a grain of salt considering the questionable credibillity of the provider.

Even if you are allowed to fish it, I would not recommend doing so because the water in the ponds is disgusting.  :-X
