Do I need another freshwater fishing license to fish Salmon arm (Area 3) when I got my license here at home (Area 2)

I cant see anything on my paper that mentions regions specific, and now that I look, I cant see anything on the Ministry website. I could have sworn I read that I needed a license per region. But it could simply be that because the province is split up in regions, I came up with that story in my noggin!

Your freshwater fishing licence is not regional-specific, it can be used across the entire province.

The only exception is classified waters, where additional classified water licences are required.

Ok thank you. I'm not sure where I got it in my head that it was, but I was sure it was. I'm silly! I'll read up real good on r3's regs and such.

National Parks are a diff license... In case you drop a lure along the way.

Ok well I have another, possibly silly question, and I thought Id just post here rather than make a new thread. If youve seen me post around here at all, you know Im pretty new to fishing in general. The pink run was great fun! I caught a bunch of those, and before that a few rainbow trout. Now where Ive been fishing has been clearly public property. The fraser, and stocked lakes. My lady and I are heading up salmon arm tomrrow for a few days, and I want to find some local rivers/streams to practice my fly fishing on. But, how do you know if you are "allowed" to fish a certain water? Do you simply assume you can if there are no signs stating no fishing/private property or something like that? I have no problems finding my own spots and water, but I dont want to take the risk of getting a fine or shot at or something. Say you came across a piece of stream, how would YOU conclude if you can fish it or not? Do it and see if anyone yells at ya?

if youre unsure then dont fish it, err on the side of caution as u may end up fishing a closed or no fishing area, get a backroad mapbook and then u will likely be able to find the name and then look up the regs for the spot, also ask around locally, and find a fly shop or tackle store locally, im on the island and dont get over to the interior much so cant really tell ya any spots, ive been to salmon arm a few times but not for fishing, good luck, thats the best advice i can give ya, ya cant beat local knowledge.....holmes*

btw, i usually go by the rule that its easier to beg for forgiveness than ask for permission, BUT NEVER when it comes to fishing   .....holmes*

also, google is your friend

Haha good advice! I cant seem to find any local tackle shops up there online, but I will keep my eyes peeled once up there. A mapbook is a damn fine idea, and I dont know why I havent gotten one yet! I looked at a couple at wholesale sports a month or two back, but never grabbed it. And I have been on Google Earth+Region 3 Regs, and Ive found at least one or two spots to try out. Doesnt look like there is A LOT for wading fishin. But you can bet your my friend if I see someone with a rod in their hands, I am screeching to a hault and introducing myself!
