What dou you need to know for fishing in Canada
For fishing in Canada most Canadian residents need an Outdoors Card to fish in Ontario if they are at least 18 years old
but have not reached their 65th birthday.
An Outdoors Card is a plastic, wallet-sized, identification card to which your Ontario (or provincial) fishing licence tag is affixed.
It acts as a durable carrier for your licence tag for three calendar years.
You must have a fishing licence tag on the back of a plastic Outdoors Card OR a "Resident Fishing Licence and Outdoors Card Application"
in order to have a complete and valid licence for fishing in Canada.
Anyone who lives outside of Canada is considered a non-resident for the purposes of fishing licence regulations. Most non-residents need a fishing licence to for fishing in Canada. Specifically:
- Non-residents 18 years of age and over must purchase a fishing licence.
- Non-residents under 18 years of age may fishin in Canada without a licence if accompanied by a adult who has a recreational fishing licence.
Any fish caught are part of the catch and possession limit of the adult who holds the licence. As another option, non-residents under
18 years may purchase a licence and any fish caught apply to the catch and possession limits of that licence.
Non-residents 65 years of age or older are not exempt from licencing.
Non-resident anglers may purchase a fishing licence that is effective immediately at more than 2,000 locations
