Fishing Licences

After completing your CIF form we will provide you with a link to the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) Tidal Fishing License page. DFO has made changes to the way licenses are issued within Canada. To streamline your experience the morning of check-in please complete your saltwater fishing licenses online before your trip. We suggest the 5-day or Annual option depending on your requirements.

Bring Your Own: if you already have one, please ensure that you bring it with you.

Catch & Release Program 2022

Our goal is to provide a first class fishing experience for our members while recognizing our responsibility to maintain our valuable fishing resource for future generations.

At the end of each trip we award Tyee pins to our guests who have released a Chinook salmon over 30 lbs. These pins are available in the 30+, 40+, 50+, 60+ and 70+ category.

The more fish we release, the more chances there are for these fish to return to their spawning rivers. Of particular concern to us, is limiting the number of trophy sized Tyees that are retained by anglers and forever removed from their gene pools.

TOTAL CATCH & RELEASE PROGRAM:

Guests visiting any of The West Coast Fishing Club properties may choose to release all the fish they catch for the duration of their trip. In return they will be rewarded with a custom WCFC Arc’teryx Conservation Jacket. Guests who declare to “Catch and Release” must notify the lodge manager. Ideally, try to make your intentions known when booking your trip as participants are limited. Please direct any questions to the lodge manager.
