Step 1. Register for a basic BCeID, or have your BCeID account information ready.  

  • Make sure that your BCeID password is current, which expires every two years since it was created or last changed. 

  • Log into the submission site using your BCeID username and password. 

Step 3. Submit Data 

  • On the “Submission form, fill out all the required information. 

  • If you did not guide, select “No” for the question “Did you guide in fresh water for the current Angling Guide Reporting year?. Complete the remaining required fields and click the “Submit” button to submit your report. 

  • If you guided, you will need to complete the “Submission form”, “Unclassified Waters Report” and/or “Classified Waters Report, before you can submit your report. 

  • To complete the “Unclassified Waters Report”, report guiding information for anglers guided per date, and per waterbody. Click “Add Another Entry” to add another angling date and waterbody if necessary. For example, if you guided on River A and River B on 2023-09-01, and on River C on 2023-09-02, create 3 entries: 1 for River A on 2023-09-01; 1 for River B on 2023-09-01, and 1 for River C on 2023-09-02. 

  • To complete the “Classified Waters Report”, report guiding information for anglers guided per date, and per section of classified waterbody. Click “Add Another Entry” to add another angling date, angler, and waterbody if necessary. For example, if you guided for John Doe and Jane Doe on Dean River A on 2023-08-01, and for Jane Doe on Dean River B on 2023-08-29, create 3 entries: 1 for John Doe on Dean River A on 2023-08-01; 1 for Jane Doe on Dean River A on 2023-08-01, and 1 for Jane Doe on Dean River B on 2023-08-29.
