FISHING LICENCES: 

To fish in Ontario, you must possess a valid fishing license. We do not issue licenses. 

Licenses have to be purchased before departing. It is important to carry your license with you at all times when fishing. Anyone who isn’t an Ontario or Canadian resident is considered a non-resident. Non-residents under the age of 18 years of age may fish without a license if accompanied by a licensed adult. Any fish caught will legally be part of the catch-and-possession limit of the person who holds the license.
