FN0244-Licensing Information - Recreational Fisheries - 2017-2018 Tidal Waters Sport Fishing Licences and Yukon Salmon Conservation Catch Cards available online Wednesday, March 22, 2017
LICENCE AVAILABILITY -------------------- 2017 - 2018 Tidal Waters Sport Fishing Licences and Yukon Salmon Conservation Catch Cards will be available for purchase online March 22nd 2017 in the National Recreational Licensing System (NRLS). You are encouraged to purchase your licence(s) in advance of a planned fishing trip. Note that the 2017 - 2018 licences only become valid from April 1, 2017. Licences can be obtained via any computer connected to the internet at www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/sportfish or by using internet 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 card or debit card. BEST TIMES TO BUY ----------------- To minimize system delays, the best time to access the National Recreational Licensing System is outside peak periods, which occur every day from 12- 3pm; and every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday; April 1st of each year; and anytime there is a major fishery opening, such as the Fraser Sockeye opening. ALTERNATIVE PURCHASE OPTIONS ---------------------------- If there is an NRLS outage, or limited internet connectivity, or if you are having trouble obtaining your licence online, you can also visit an Independent Access Provider (IAP); 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 of Canada wishing to fish for halibut in Areas 23, 121, or 123, you must acquire a licence through one of these IAP 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. SPORT FISHING GUIDE ------------------- The British Columbia Tidal Waters Sport Fishing Guide (SFG) is available online. For the most current information on recreational fisheries, and to download a pdf copy of the SFG visit the online BC Sport Fishing Guide website at: http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/fm-gp/rec/index-eng.html Note that the pdf version of the guide is condensed and includes static information that does not change on a regular basis.
