A new friend, Charles @ Dr Ordi PC Dr, interested in going fishing with me asked about the cost of a fishing license here in New Brunswick Canada. A few others have also asked about the cost, especially those that are non-residence that I have extended a fishing invitation to.
Here is a list of fishing license fees for New Brunswick in 2008 I found at Goverment New Brunswick Services. This is only the fees so you may want to follow the link and read the entire page:

I am really glad they have included an extra $5.00 as a fish stocking fee. So much has happened over the past 100 years to do major damage to stock and habitat it’s good to see we are correcting our past mistakes.
