Angling Ethics
Transporting and Exporting Fish
If you caught the fish yourself you must:
- keep your angling licence handy
while travelling.
- transport no more than your legal
limit.
- ensure your fish can be identified,
counted and measured if necessary.
A
guide to Wrapping it Right
If you are transporting fish for someone
else:
- obtain and carry a signed letter
from that person with the following details: the angler's
name, address, telephone number and fishing licence
number; when and where the fish were caught; the date
and place at which you were given the fish; the number,
species and size of the fish that you have been given
and the name and address of the person to whom the fish
are to be delivered.
- if you will be exporting the fish
from B.C., carry the letter and insure that it is available
for inspection by fishery enforcement and/or customs
officers if requested to do so.
If someone else caught the fish and
gave it to you for your personal consumption:
- keep a signed letter from the angler
in your possession until you have eaten the fish.
- the letter should list the name, address and telephone
number of the angler who gave you the fish; the number,
species and size of the fish; and when and where the
fish were caught.
