Each year, the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC stocks 6 million trout, char and kokanee into 850 of BC's prime fishing lakes - all paid for by anglers.

Management decisions such as licence fees, fishing regulations, and stocking levels remain the responsibility of the BC government.

Sept 10, 2008 - Firefox v3 security settings are preventing the queries such as Searching for a Location from loading in the same window.  Lake Reports are still available in this browser by zooming into the lake and using the Identify tool.   There is a team working to resolve this issue.  Firefox v2 and Internet Explorer v6 and v7 are successful browsers to use instead.
