Any one know if tags are in at Fred's/Chilliwack Dart and Tackle?
-
Yes i heard they were in at Freds

-
On line is the way to go!
-
Are the on-line tage suppose to print off on a one sided full sheet of paper or did I do something wrong.......

nope...both front and back of license (including conservation tags) are printed on one side of a full size sheet. just fold down the middle to represent the front and the back. :)
-
I also got everything at Fred`s--Is it a good a idea to support your local shop--I think so.

Lol I dunno man... I try not to buy stuff from Fred's because I find it more expensive then buyin stuff at Wal-Mart or in the US. Fred's can charge whatever they want because they are right on the river and they know people will want gear no matter how expensive..... for example how much did you pay for your liscense?
-
Cost of licences are set by the government not by the tackle shops.
-
Got creative with the license. Printed a shot of myself fishing on photo paper then printed the license on top of the photo. No questions to who the license belongs to and the thicker paper should stand up better in the harsher conditions.
-
Lol sweet idea ;)

I did my on-line, too. The ideia of print your photo with the license was great, but I wonder if it is ok to do.
The officer still going to ask for a valid photo id.
-
Do they really ask for valid ID.... If they do I would be screwed because all I carry when Im fishing is my liscence in my vest. Maybe I should start carrying my wallet lol.

No they can not ask for anything other then your license as that is what is stated in the regs. In fact you legally do not even have to provide ID to a police officer, mind you it is in your best interest to do it for the police. But as far as while fishing your license is all you ever need.
-
Sweet thanks fly guy
-
I'm not sure if its a new policy or procedure for new conservation officers, but I got asked for my drivers license while getting my angling license checked today. I discussed this issue with some of my fishing buddies who are regulars on the Vedder and they say that this procedure has been going on since the beginning of Steelhead season. I too thought about what if a person did not carry a piece of identification them while fishing in this situation. I'm sure the officer would give a person some grace if that person was not able to show them some personal identification ;)
-
What if the fisherman doesn't drive ?
-
If a RCMP officer asks for your fishing license, would you show him or her? I can't seem to find this requirement written in the regulation synopsis. ;)
ED, it is also in your own best interest to carry a photo ID for safety reasons, in case of a medical emergency, unlikely at your age but always a possibility.

It actually does say that an RCMP officer can ask for your fishing license try looking on page 12 of the regs under inspection. But you still do not have to produce any other ID. In fact when I am on the lake in the pontoon I never have any thing but my fishing license. On the veddar river though I always keep my wallet with me only because of break ins but on the Allouette I never bring it. If I am not the one driving I only bring my fishing license and my debit card and that is it.
-
I definitely need a new pair of glasses. ::)
Anyway, take a look at this related thread:
http://www.flybc.ca/forum/index.php?showtopic=9419
The photo ID does not always have to be a driver license. For my father, he has a Canadian residecy card that he uses as a photo ID as he does not drive in Canada.
What I am looking forward to read on here in the future is the outcome of someone refusing to produce a photo ID when asked by a conservation or DFO officer. ;)
-
Ok the next time I get checked I will. The only thing is I have only been checked twice in my life. Once when I was 10 and fishing the Allouette and once on the chehalis about 7 years ago. So that makes twice in the 34 years that I have been fishing. I guess it could be awhile ;D
-
I got checked twice within a week last year by the same CO :)
-
Lol... well hopefully they don't check me because its a pain to carry around my wallet so all I bring is my liscence... I dont even remeber to bring my cell hpone half the time, if they ask for ID ill just call home ;D ;D
-
Back in Dec, I took my cousin his girlfriend out crabbing. After returning 4 officers came to my boat, they asked for our license and only the boat owner's ID the other 2 only require to present their fishing license. Last year 3 outings around Gulf Is area, we were checked for license and all 3 occations we weren't asked for any ID.
Is there a different practice between COs, DFOs, and RCMP officers?
-
I just fired off an email to their headoffice(CO's) to get some clarification on this. I will post their email responce if I get one.
-
On line is the only way.......... I'm going to find some waterproof paper ( vinyl ) for next year. The plain bond paper just wouldn't hold up very well,,,especially when wet.

Good idea with the water-proof paper. If memory serves me correctly plastic-coating the store-purchased license voided it - might that be different for online licenses printed on regular bond?
Either way, online purchase was a snap.
-
got mine. army & navy has a deal if you renew your license you get 15% off your purchases for that day. thought some would want to know
-
Just got my new licence last week at High water tackle... very easy this new online system... you can print off new ones ect if lost.

or happen to kill 10 hatch steelies or adult chinook too right and want more meat?
system sounds fudged too me.
-
Their is an encrypted symbol on your licence that the CO can scan... if they check you they can record your numbers in their system and that would show up on further prints... your right though. I would be pretty easy to abuse it... not much different than the old system though.. if you wanted to abuse the old system guys still did it... a specific licence type isnt going to stop the leeches that want to disobey the regs
