Thinking about taking up fishing? Why not check out one of the amazing BC Family Fishing Weekend events being hosted by @gofishbc and their partners! Over the weekend (June 13th - 15th) BC waives the requirement for residents of Canada to buy or carry a non-tidal (freshwater) basic fishing licence, giving people the opportunity to try fishing before jumping in the deep end! In addition to waiving this requirement for the weekend, there's tons of events going on across the province to help introduce residents angling. Some conditions still apply, head to https://www.gofishbc.com/bc-family-fishing-weekend/ for more information or to find an event near you!

📢 ANNOUNCING: $230k for Invasive Mussel Monitoring This Summer! 📢 For many folks in British Columbia, the incoming summer weather means endless adventure, time spent outdoors with friends and family, and especially, time spent on B.C.'s stunning freshwater lakes and rivers - however, for a handful of B.C. residents, the summertime signals the beginning of critically important environmental monitoring work to protect the health of treasured waterways. A pair of freshwater mollusks - the zebra and quagga mussels - are known across Canada for wreaking havoc on freshwater systems that have involuntarily come to house them. They grow and multiply astonishingly quickly, consuming much-needed nutrients from the water, clogging and destroying important infrastructure and habitat, and outcompeting freshwater mussels that are native to B.C. This year, HCTF’s Invasive Mussels Monitoring Grant will administer 11 projects for a total of $230,893 in funding! Each monitoring organization will undertake the sampling of several local waterbodies throughout the summer months, when detections are most likely to appear. Together we can help keep our waters clean and healthy! Remember to Clean, Drain, Dry your watercraft and equipment before moving to a new area! 📷 4-582: East Kootenay Invasive Mussel Monitoring, @eastkootenayinvasives

$Ever wonder how the HCTF funds critical wildlife and habitat conservation in BC? 🌲 Our work is powered by YOU! A significant portion of our funding comes from surcharges on angling, hunting, trapping, and guide outfitting licences. Plus, court awards from environmental infractions and dedicated government contributions also play a vital role. It's a true collaboration for conservation! Every license purchased and every fine paid helps protect BC's incredible biodiversity. Thank you for being a part of it! Thinking about taking up angling?
