Does any one know why a non canadian [U.S.citizen] can purchase a fishing license "on line" from Canada to fish for Halibut in all areas except areas 121,but for 121 must buy it in person?

Re: Halibut fishing in Canada

Verry good question...I fish out of Neah Bay for the halibut opener and ling the rest of the year. I have tried to get a licence. A buddy fishes off the Vancouver Island side and says the locals have complained quite a bit about "thier" halibut grounds beeing overrun by Americans. I would bet rather than just stopping us thay have just made it very difficult......don't forget...You also have to have a pass port to cross the border now...
