River Boating Etiquette and Safety For your safety and the enjoyment of everyone using the river, please:
Use the Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP) hotline to report violations 1-877-952-RAPP (7277) or via cell (on the Telus network) at #7277: We can all help ensure that those who break the law do not spoil future angling opportunities for everyone. For more information, see Report All Poachers and Polluters (RAPP).
- Keep boat launch areas clear so that all boaters have equal access.
- Don't mix alcohol and boating. You will need your best reflexes to keep you, your boat and other stream users safe. It's illegal to operate a boat while impaired.
- Limit your speed (particularly when entering corners) to avoid collisions with other boaters, anglers, swimmers and hidden obstacles.
- Respect the Universal Shoreline Speed Restriction (10km/hr within 30m of the shore).
- Be careful when boating at dawn and dusk, or in other conditions of limited light or visibility.
- Refrain from running your boat through water being fished by others. Go slowly or drift by anglers along the shoreline. Be considerate of others.
- Avoid sensitive habitats such as shallow water, spawning areas, and wildlife nesting or foraging areas.
- Give animals crossing the river the space and time to do so. It's illegal to harass wildlife.
- Pack out your garbage. Old fishing line, litter, fuel and oil damage fish habitat, endanger aquatic life and reduce water quality.
