ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
 
How do I find out current fishing rules & regulations?
 
If you plan on doing any fishing during your stay it is important to familiarize yourself with all fishing rules and regulations. You need a BC Tidal fishing license to fish, and must keep a paper copy on you at all times while fishing (a copy on your phone is not sufficient.) Important rules to note include, but not limited to, possession limits, daily catch limits, and proper storage to allow for identification and measurement. We are located in Area 4, Region 6. Rules and regulations can be updated at any time throughout the season. For more information please visit the Fisheries and Oceans Canada website here for current rules and regulations.
Are there any ways to reduce environmental impact during our stay?
 
In an effort to minimize the risk of spreading invasive species, we suggest our guest follow the protocol set out by the Invasive Species Council of British Columbia. The ISC’ philosophy is to practice “clean, drain, dry.” Following this protocol ensures that all boats and equipment reduce the risk of contamination. For more information on reducing the risk of spreading invasive species please click here
 
What can we do to observe safe boating practices around whales & other wildlife?
 
There is an abundance of wildlife, shorebirds, aquatic mammals and whales around Victory Cove. The safety of these creatures is extremely important! Keeping a safe distance from all wildlife is a critical step in the safety of these animals. Laws are in place for boaters to ensure their continued safety. Please familiarize yourself with current rules and regulations through the Fisheries and Oceans Canada website here .
