CROWN RESERVE WATERS<br />

New for 2014<br />

Several changes are being implemented with respect to the Crown Reserve Angling program in 2014. These measures include:<br />

• DNR Client Number: Crown Reserve anglers require a DNR Client Number when applying for or booking Crown Reserve<br />

angling opportunities. Refer below for additional information on how to obtain your client number.<br />

• Introduction of a Crown Reserve online “public portal” system: Anglers will now be able to submit applications, book<br />

unclaimed stretch dates, and pay for Regular, Daily, and Live Release Crown Reserve angling licences from a “public portal”<br />

system located at the Department of Natural Resources web site. This online option will be offered in addition to the<br />

existing method of contacting a designated DNR office.<br />

• Replacement of Regular Crown Reserve mini-draws with a booking system: The current Regular Crown Reserve mini-draw<br />

system, which consisted of a series of draws held on weekdays throughout the angling season, is being replaced by a<br />

first-come first-served booking system.<br />

• Bag limit changes: Trout bag limits will change on some Daily Crown Reserve stretches (see page 55).<br />

• Regular Crown Reserve stretch choices: Applicants to the Regular Crown Reserve draw will be able to submit up to 7 stretch<br />

date choices on their application form instead of the current limit of 5.<br />

• Daily and Live Release Crown Reserve usage restrictions: Anglers will be able to angle two days per month on any specific<br />

stretch of Daily or Live Release water obtained through the draw rather than be limited to two days per month for all<br />

stretches. As before, there will be no restrictions in terms of how many times anglers may book unclaimed Daily or Live<br />

Release stretches not taken in the draw.<br />

• Crown Reserve application fees: Crown Reserve anglers will now pay a single application fee of $7 plus HST per year<br />

instead of an application fee every time they submit an application to a Crown Reserve draw.<br />

• Crown Reserve licence fees: Regular, Daily, and Live Release Crown Reserve licence fees will be reduced by 1/3 for licences<br />

issued for angling dates that occur between Sept. 1 and Sept. 15.<br />

• Additional information on these changes to the Crown Reserve system is provided on the following pages.<br />

General Information<br />

• Only people who reside year round in New Brunswick may apply to fish on Crown Reserve Waters.<br />

• All Crown Reserve anglers require a DNR Client Number when applying for or booking Crown Reserve angling<br />

opportunities. If you angled on Crown Reserve in 2012 or 2013 you were mailed your DNR Client Number as part of<br />

a Crown Reserve information package sent to you by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in February 2014.<br />

You may also obtain your DNR Client Number from the following sources:<br />

––<br />

fuelwood, tipping, and wood cutting permits (X permits) issued by DNR since 2009<br />

––<br />

any draw application receipts issued by DNR since 2010<br />

––<br />

Daily or Live Release Crown Reserve Licences issued in 2012 or 2013<br />

––<br />

Conservation Education certification cards issued since 2011<br />

If you have never been issued a DNR Client Number or are unable to locate your number contact any DNR District office<br />

for assistance<br />
