Salmon Conservation Catch Card
The Salmon Conservation Catch Card is administered by Fisheries and Oceans Canada.
The Catch Card captures pertinent information about an angler’s fishing activity. It comes with a postage-paid envelope so the Card can easily be returned to DFO at the end of the salmon fishing season.
Requirements
If you want to fish for salmon (other than Kokanee or stocked salmon) in Yukon waters you must purchase a Salmon Conservation Catch Card. Catch Cards are available to licensed anglers only. The current Catch Card is valid from April 1 to November 30. You must carry the Catch Card with you when angling for salmon, and produce it when asked to do so by a Conservation or Fishery Officer.
Recording Your Catch
Immediately upon catching a salmon, you must record on the Catch Card the date, location, species, sex, presence of tags, presence of adipose fin, and they type of gear with which the salmon was caught. You must record this information even if you release the salmon. If you do not catch any salmon, please indicate this on the Card as well.
Return the Card
You must return your Salmon Conservation Card to Fisheries and Oceans Canada by November 30 of the year of issue. There are four ways to return your salmon catch information:
- In person at the Whitehorse Fisheries & Oceans office
- Mail to: Fisheries and Oceans Canada, 100-419 Range Road, Whitehorse, Yukon, Y1A 3V1
- Fax to: 867-393-6738
- Submit through the on-line catch card submission
Failure to comply with any of these regulations could result in a fine or legal action.
