There’s a lot more to fishing in Vancouver than just getting your feet wet. Not only is this consistently voted one of the most liveable cities in the whole world, it has some pretty enviable marine attractions, too. Famously diverse, it seems like we only ever hear good things about this densely-populated city. And luckily for us anglers, the local waters can easily rival the streets of downtown Vancouver in terms of activity. Not only that: there’s also a fleet of Vancouver fishing charters ready and waiting to get you involved in the action.
Rules & Regulations
Everyone who fishes in British Columbia must hold a valid fishing license. Get yours online from the Canadian National Recreational Licensing System. Saltwater anglers will need to head here to get a Tidal License - and those who want to keep Salmon will have to include a Salmon Conservation Stamp, too.
Freshwater fishing is governed by the state of British Columbia and licenses for freshwater fishing must be purchased from the BC state authorities.
Be sure to purchase and print off your fishing license before boarding: your carefully-chosen fishing charter Vancouver has waiting for you will not usually provide this for you.
Please note that although licenses are free of charge for children under 16, they still must have one.
