Fishing Licenses Available Online We would like to remind everyone that Alberta and British Columbia fishing licenses are available for purchase online. To purchase Alberta licenses go to: http://www.albertarelm.com To purchase British Columbia Basic Angling licenses and Classified Waters licenses online, go to: http://www.fishing.gov.bc.ca We are a vendor for BC licenses and you can continue to purchase them at our shop, as usual. However, keep in mind we only have one computer terminal available to issue BC licenses and appreciate your patience when obtaining the Basic and Classified Waters licenses. To avoid potential line-ups and/or waiting time, anglers may want to consider purchasing licenses online, in advance. Your BC license will have an angler number printed at the top of the page. You will need to use this number to purchase Classified Waters licenses. You will also need this number when purchasing next year’s Basic license. It’s a good idea to record your angler number on a separate piece of paper for future reference. Alberta and British Columbia angling licenses are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.   View report from  days.
