REPLACES THE NEED TO CARRY A PAPER LICENCE: With the newest update to the FishingBC app, and in cooperation with Canada’s Department of Fisheries & Oceans, your smartphone can now replace your paper licence while fishing. After linking it with your BC Tidal Waters Sport Fishing Licence, the FishingBC app allows you to permanently record, store, and display mandatory catch information including for Chinook salmon, halibut, and lingcod, as well as provide proof of your current, valid licence. APP ACCOUNT: You may now use the FishingBC App without creating or logging into an account. (You will still need to be logged in to a FishingBC App account to link your National Recreational Licensing System (NRLS) account, retrieve your official BC Tidal Waters Sport Fishing Licence, and use the app's Catch Log feature.) CATCH LOG: Numerous improvements to the Catch Log feature. REGULATIONS: An all new, simplified and streamlined look for Regulations, making them easier to read and understand at a glance. UPDATED AI: The Enhanced Species ID feature uses all new AI and is much better at identifying Pacific salmon and other finish.

NEW TOOLS: An on-screen ruler, units converter, and fish weight estimator are now available. MISCELLANEOUS: Numerous visual tweaks and other improvements to performance and stability.
