Delayed opening for the 2018 Atlantic Salmon Angling Season

DFO is advising anglers that the 2018 opening of the Atlantic Salmon angling season in Newfoundland and Labrador has been delayed pending the availability of salmon angling licenses. Provincial regulations require that a licence be held in order to fish on scheduled salmon rivers in Newfoundland and Labrador. The province of Newfoundland and Labrador is responsible for issuing angling licences. DFO will continue to work with Provincial officials to open the season when licences are available.

Inquiries concerning the status on licence availability should be directed to the province of Newfoundland and Labrador.
