Fishing Licences & Limits

Chinook Salmon

Coho Salmon

Be sure to have your Tidal Water BC Fishing Licence with a Salmon Stamp for each person fishing - (you can buy them on-line). Be sure to have your licence with you when fishing, or leave Canada, as you may be required to produce it by a Canadian Fisheries Officer, or by a Customs Officer at the border.

Children under 16 years of age require a Tidal Fishing Licence (which is free), however, a Salmon Stamp must be purchased if salmon are to be retained by the child.
