Licence applications must clearly identify the objective(s) of
the fish collection, time period, location, target species and
collection methods. We suggest that a “Request for a Licence
to Collect Fish for Scientific, Educational or Public Display
Purposes form” be used when you apply. This form is available
online by clicking here: [HTML] [PDF]
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of any issued
license could result in withdrawal of the licence or affect
the applicants ability to obtain future licences.
Please note that applications for licenses to collect
non-salmon species (as well as Steelhead) in British Columbia
must be made to the
provincial
Ministry of Water, Land and Air
Protection.
