Welcome to BC Family Fishing.

We’re a non-profit organization that advocates for fishing in BC.

Preserving BC’s Fishing Heritage

What began as an informal, collective passion for sustainable fishing in British Columbia has grown into a movement that is dedicated to protecting BC waters, educating the communities who share those waters, and supporting future generations of anglers.

Our Fishing Partners and Collaborators

We work with many different fishing communities, conservation groups and education organizations here in BC.

Supporting Future Anglers and Conservationists

We use outreach and education to help preserve BC’s waterways and fish populations for future generations.

Partnering for Sustainable Fisheries

We also work with local governments, environmental organizations and other stakeholders who want a sustainable future for BC fisheries.
