Regulations
Freshwater Fishing in Parks and Ecological
Reserves
Fishing in Provincial Parks
Individuals fishing in a Provincial
Park or Recreation Area should be aware that the Park
Act and its regulations apply, as do the sport fishing
regulations in this synopsis.
NOTE: the use of horses, motor vehicles,
motorcycles, snowmobiles, other self-propelled vehicles
or bicycles is generally prohibited in Provincial Parks
and Recreation Areas except where specifically authorized.
All motor vehicles on parks roads must be licenced. Use
of aircraft to arrive at or depart from some parks is
restricted.
In National Parks, unless stated otherwise, these regulations
do NOT apply and provincial angling licences are
NOT valid.
Ecological Reserves
Fishing is prohibited in Ecological
Reserves in B.C. A complete list of ecological reserves
is available from any BC Parks district office or from
BC
Parks headquarters. You may also consult commercial
Recreational Atlases for locations.
Fishing in National Parks
Obtain a National Park Fishing Permit
and Park Regulations before fishing park waters. Both
are available at park visitor centres and some commercial
outlets. Special regulations, such as closed waters and
bans on bait, lead sinkers and lead jigs may be in place
to protect park resources.
