New Docks Make Fishing Access Easier
Thanks to the installation of new fishing docks around the province, B.C. anglers will be able to enjoy easier and more frequent access to fishing. Since 2015, docks have been installed in communities where fishing from docks was previously unavailable, or fishing from shore was poor. Now everyone – from avid anglers who want to fit in a quick hour of fishing, to new anglers who don’t have access to a boat – will be able to enjoy good fishing on more lakes.
As of April 1, 2015, under a new agreement with the provincial government, the Society receives 100% of fishing licence revenue to invest in infrastructure and services to support freshwater fishing in B.C. – like new fishing docks. Improved access to popular fishing spots and stocked lakes supports the Society’s goal to reduce barriers to angling, resulting in greater participation in the sport. It also leaves a legacy for current and future anglers, and dovetails nicely with the Society’s
