The Fraser Valley
Angling Guides Association is a volunteer
organisation run by and for Professional
Angling Guides. Our mandate is to
promote a high level of professionalism
among angling guides and to ensure
recreational fishers rights are protected
and that angling opportunities are
maintained.
There are a
wide variety of issues and pressures
threatening angling opportunities. The
FVAGA strives to ensure that anglers are
properly represented in the decision making
process of DFO and MOE.
We do this by
participating in a wide variety of working
groups and committees where decisions on
recreational fishing are often made.
These include:
-
SFAC - Sport
Fishing Advisory Committee
-
FVSS - Fraser
Valley Salmon Society
-
FRSCS - Fraser
River Sturgeon Conservation Society
-
SF/FN - Sport
Fishers and First Nations group
-
FFRAC -
Technical working group sturgeon
recovery
-
ISDF -
Integrated Salmon Dialogue Forum
We also work hard
to ensure that the public at large
understands the facts around recreational
fishing. Using media releases and letters
we have been very effective in getting the
facts out and keeping Anglers on the river.
In addition we
provide our members with the latest
information on Transport Canada
requirements, DFO pronouncements and other
relevant information.
Membership in the
Fraser Valley Angling Guides Association
runs from June 1 to May 30th.
Fees are
$200 for an Angling guide and $70 for an
Assistant Guide.
