Morice River (including tributaries)

DFO's current salmon fishing rules for Morice River (including tributaries): species, season dates, and daily limits. Rules can change without notice, check current Fishery Notices.

You need a licence before you fishThe licence you need depends on the water, not the fish. In non-tidal fresh water (rivers and lakes above the tidal boundary), salmon go on the BC freshwater fishing licence (Province of BC) plus a Salmon Conservation Stamp. The BC Tidal Waters licence (DFO) is only for tidal waters. The rules on this page are DFO's either way.

Get told when this changes

We check DFO every hour. When the rules for Morice River (including tributaries) change, or a Fishery Notice names it or closes Region 6, you get one email.

We email to confirm before anything else, and every email has a one-click unsubscribe. Alerts point at the live page; they are never the rule themselves.

See something wrong?

Rules change in-season and we'd rather hear it from you than have someone fish on bad information. Tell us what looks off and we'll check it against the source.
