Have an Idea - SW Alberta Fish In

[MikeL]

gonfishn -
I've heard great things about B. C. fishing and the Elk. But a couple guys ( other guys ) from Calgary that I ran into at our local fly shop in Idaho Falls last summer told me that fishing in B. C. gets a bit pricey, with daily fees on a lot of waters. Can you provide more information on that part of it ?

John,

On top of your standard ($50/week) BC license fee, you have to pay an additional $25 per river per day to fish the Fernie area. This means that if you purchase the $25 permit to fish the Elk one day and fishing is slow you have to pay another $25 to go fish a different stream that day. For a few days of fishing the fees can really add up...
