To become a Licenced Angling Guide in BC you must:
1. Write and Pass an exam to prove your knowledge of the regulations in the region(s) you plan to guide
2. Write an Angling Guide Operating Plan (AGOP) 3. Canadian citizen or a permanent resident of Canada (landed immigrant) and is 19 years of age or older (or has attached an exemption under Section 100 of the Wildlife Act). The applicant further certifies that he or she holds and will maintain a minimum of $500,000 public liability insurance applicable to his or her angling guide business and effective for the period during which s\/he operates.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.env.gov.bc.ca\/pasb\/applications.html<\/a><\/p>\n

Finish All of the above and you have earned your LICENCED ANGLING GUIDE status from the BC Government<\/p>\n

This allows you to: Guide on the rivers\/lakes you have listed in your AGOP, and hire Assistant Guides*<\/p>\n

Assistant Guides often refer to themselves as Guides in BC. They are “Assistant Guides” and are hired by Licenced Angling Guides by simply dubbing them an Assistant Guide and paying a fee. They need absolutely no training whatsoever nor do they write a test for knowledge of regulations.<\/p>\n

In addition, Effective April 2007, Transport Canada requires that to run a commercial vessel, in this case, a Jet Sled or Jet Boat, or any motorized vessel on fresh or salt water you will require a C-Licence for your vessel.<\/p>\n

To pilot the vessel you will require additional Training including:<\/p>\n

1. MED-A3 – Marine Emergency Duties
2. SVOP – Small Vessel Operator Proficiency Licence by April 2007.<\/p>\n

Neither Provincial nor the Federal Government requires that your guide:<\/p>\n

A) Hold a valid First Aid Certificate of any sort – not even a basic first aid course
B) Hold a valid Swiftwater Rescue Certificate
C) Hold a valid CPR certificate
D) Hold a Class 4 Driver’s licence (Commercial drivers such as taxi drivers and limo drivers require this – how does a guide transporting fishermen differ?)
E) Have any whitewater \/ swiftwater training to run the vessel in class III and Class IV rapids<\/p>\n

Training is entirely up to you as an individual guide. A great outline for this is available here:<\/p>\n
