How to submit angling guide data

Step 1: Register for a Basic BCeID, or have your Basic BCeID account information ready 

• Make sure that your Basic BCeID password is current. Accounts expire every two years from last update if password is not changed

Step 2: Access the BC Freshwater Angling Guide Report Submission Site

• Log into the submission site using your Basic BCeID username and password
• For a smooth and reliable experience when saving or submitting the form, we recommend using Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox

Step 3: Submit Data 

• On the “Angling Guide Information” section, fill out the required information

• If guiding occurred, select “Unclassified Waters” and/or “Classified Waters” to report on your activity. New report sections will appear below for you to complete, before you can submit your report
• Complete the “Unclassified Waters Report.” Report guiding information by group of anglers, location, park information (if applicable), date and catch information by location. Once a group is complete select “Add Another Group’s Report” to begin another activity report. For each group you can add multi locations, dates and catch information
• Complete the “Classified Waters Report.” Each report records all the activity for a single client. Enter their personal information and licence then for each location, dates and record catch. Select “+Add Another Client’s Report,” to begin another client’s report
