FISHING LICENSES

license if they are with a licensed individual however they can not claim a
limit of fish unless they have a valid license.

residents of Ontario. Residents of Ontario who are under 18 or over 65 can fish
without a license and can claim a limit of fish. Residents 18-65 must also

Conservation License - The conservation license was introduced in 1993 to
conserve high quality fishing by rewarding Catch and Release. It costs
significantly less than a regular license, yet allows you to catch the fish, eat
fish during your stay and, if you wish, take some fish home. The conservation
license allows a smaller possession limit of each species than the regular
license.
