BC’s youth are encouraged to grab their tackle boxes and fishing rods, and experience BC’s lakes this summer.
According to the Freshwater Fisheries Society, fishing license sales to BC Residents increased 17% in 2020 as compared to 2019. The biggest increase in any age group during that time was among 16-24-year-olds at 67% more than in 2019.
The Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC’s Summer Fishing Challenge will reward young anglers who document their fishing experiences this summer. The Challenge is open to any fisher who is 15 or younger. “We put that in there because youth freshwater fishing doesn’t require a license,” says Freshwater Fisheries Society Outreach Coordinator Jessica Yarwood, “This way, there are no barriers, just get out there and go give fishing a try.”
