Welcome to the BC Recreational Fishing Association

The BC Recreational Fishing Association is a non-profit organization whose mission is to advocate for fair, science-driven regulations that balance the conservation of marine life with the needs of coastal communities. Maintaining healthy salmon and other fish populations in the face of growing environmental and societal demands requires a multi-faceted approach. This includes funding and supporting hatcheries, advancing research and data collection, reducing pollution, protecting critical watersheds, and advocating for government and public investment.  We wish to see conservation policies implemented that include recent data, consultation, and transparency while empowering recreational fishermen to play an active role in sustainable practices. At the heart of our mission is fostering a vibrant community of fishing enthusiasts and nurturing a deeper appreciation for the sport of fishing as a cherished tradition and vital economic driver. We also aim to create a thriving community of anglers with a passion for fishing, conservation, and connection. This community fosters camaraderie, knowledge-sharing, and collective action to protect and celebrate the sport we love. Together, we can ensure that fishing remains a source of joy, tradition, and economic vitality for generations to come.
