A Message from Minister Paul Robichaud Congratulations on the purchase of your 2014 New Brunswick angling licence. Recreational anglers make a significant contribution to the protection of our fish resources through the purchase of licences that help support conservation, stocking and management programs. We encourage people to explore the enjoyment of recreational fishing, and experience New Brunswick’s incredible outdoors. We have more than 2,500 lakes and 60,000 kilometres of rivers, brooks and streams. I am pleased to inform anglers that the Department of Natural Resources has recently implemented several initiatives to provide even greater opportunities to fish on Crown waters. I invite you to acquaint yourselves with these changes as we have streamlined the application process, and in some cases, decreased administration fees. The initiatives that we are putting in place will encourage a greater use of Crown waters for fishing in our world-renown waters. Angling remains one of the simplest and most affordable ways for families to come together in New Brunswick’s great outdoors. It is one of the finest teaching tools we have to help both young and old gain an appreciation of our outdoor environment. Fish New Brunswick Days (June 7 – 8) is an excellent opportunity for New Brunswickers to try angling without a licence and for nonresidents to fish without a licence or a guide. I encourage all anglers and would-be anglers to take advantage of these days and try their luck on one of our many lakes, brooks or rivers. I also encourage all anglers to fill out and submit an Angling Card at the end of the 2014 season. The postage-paid angling card is found in the center of this book or can be completed and submitted online at www.gnb.ca/naturalresources. By completing this survey, anglers are providing valuable data to help fisheries managers monitor fish populations throughout the province. Please read this summary, follow the regulations, and have a safe, enjoyable and successful fishing season.
