Freshwater Fishing E-Licence
A Message from the Minister
 On

ever for anglers to purchase recreational fishing
licences.
Last year, I committed to establishing a modern,

freshwater fishing licences. It was time to replace
the traditional paper-based system that has served

About the Freshwater Fishing E-Licence
This web site allows individuals to purchase
and pay online for a Freshwater Fishing Licence
for recreational purposes.
The Freshwater Fishing Licence does not include
fishing in British Columbia's coastal tidal waters.
Tidal (saltwater) fishing regulations and licences
are under the jurisdiction of the Canadian federal
government. See the link to "Government of
Canada" in the right column of this page.
What you will need to buy an e-licence online
You can buy a recreational fishing licence over
the Internet by clicking the "Buy a licence online"
link at the top of the right column of this web
page.
If you already have a paper licence for the current licensing year, you cannot add additional licences online.
You can purchase additional paper licences from
a fishing licence vendor.
To buy an e-licence you will need:
- a valid credit card number for fee payment.
VISA, MasterCard and American Express are accepted;
- a connected printer, switched on and loaded
with letter-sized paper, to print your licence;
- a connection to the Internet. To access the Freshwater Fishing system, you will need the Microsoft Internet Explorer browser, version 6 or higher. The browser must have JavaScript version 1.1 or higher.; and
- an angler number. You may have one if you
have registered or purchased an e-licence before.
If not, you will obtain one when you buy or
register for an e-licence for the first time.
