Angling Ethics
Over 400,000 anglers enjoy fishing on lakes, rivers, and streams throughout British Columbia. If we are not careful, the popularity that recreational freshwater fishing enjoys may compromise not only the experience anglers are seeking, but also contribute to decline of some fish stocks, impact fish habitat and increase conflicts between anglers unless special care is taken.

Respect fish and treat them humanely. Keep fish immersed in water until you identify the species and its size. Help us look after our fisheries by limiting your catch to your needs and never exceeding the legal limit. “Let them go, let them grow,” and practice “catch and release” when appropriate or required.
Practice courtesy toward other anglers and respect their rights. Share the water with other users. Practice good angling etiquette by:

moving around a water body in patterns appropriate to your gear and local conditions;
when in a boat give a wide berth to wading anglers, other boaters and swimmers;
leaving adequate room between other anglers and yourself, especially flyfishers. Respect public and private property.
Always ask permission before entering private property, including Indian Reserve land. Leave natural areas as you found them, keep campsites clean and be careful with campfires.
