About

The Sport Fishing Institute of BC is a nonprofit society. Contributors and members are made up of a wide range of committed stakeholders including fishing lodges, resorts, certified tidal angling guides, hotels, charter operators, manufacturers, distributors, tackle shops, dealers, boat marine manufacturers, insurance industry organizations, regional airlines, and individual anglers.  Our common goals are to ensure sustainability of our natural resources and that sustainable angling opportunities are maintained and promoted.

The SFI depends on membership fees and contributions from anglers and the many businesses that serve and benefit from them.
