Fishery Notice

The following information applies to 2014 - 2015 Tidal Waters Sport Fishing 
Licences: 

2014 - 2015 Tidal Waters Sport Fishing Licences will be available for purchase 
online March 18, 2014. Although you are encouraged to pre-purchase your 
licence, please note that 2014 - 2015 licences are not valid until April 1, 
2014. 

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. 

Licences can also be purchased at select public access points; 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. 

To avoid 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.

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.
