Freshwater Fishing Regulations Synopsis
2006-2007
All sport fishing regulations in effect
in freshwater in British Columbia (except for salmon fishing
and fishing in National Parks) are published each spring
in the Regulations Synopsis booklet. A copy is also posted
on this web site. Anglers should become familiar with
these regulations before going fishing. Click on the
province-wide regulations first. These are in effect
throughout BC.

Next, turn to the Regional
Regulations in effect by clicking on one of
the province's eight regions on the map below. Also check
the tables presented with each region to see whether any
Water-specific Regulations
have been adopted for the lake or stream you plan to fish.

During the year, after the synopsis
booklet has been published, a small number of important
regulation changes may have to be made on specific bodies
of water to conserve fish stocks. Please check the list
of in-season changes posted
here to see whether the lake or stream you plan to fish
has been affected. Click on the region of interest.
Please also check to see whether any synopsis
changes have been recorded.
