Instructions

• There are 17 classes of angling licenses in New Brunswick. Anglers may choose to ice fish from January to the end of March, and/or angle for "salmon and all other species" or "all species except salmon" in the general (summer) angling season. Salmon anglers may choose to purchase a "retention license" which includes salmon tags and allows them to keep a limited number of grilse (small salmon) or they may choose a "Live Release" salmon license which does not include salmon tags, therefore all salmon must be released. The "All Species - Except Salmon" licenses are more commonly called a -trout license, but are valid for recreational angling of all species except Atlantic Salmon.
• Resident licenses are available at Service New Brunswick Centres and license vendors throughout the province.
• Non-Resident Licenses are available at Service New Brunswick Centres.
• A $5.00 fish stocking fee is being applied to most angling licenses to support a fish stocking program.
• You can use spinning gear in most of our 2 000 lakes and ponds as well as tens of thousands of kilometres of rivers and streams. If the water is not identified as "fly fishing only", spinning gear is permitted.

Need for the Document

Recreational angling licenses available to residents and non-residents of New Brunswick. Angling licenses provide angling opportunities to New Brunswick Anglers while managing fish populations for future use.
