Fishing Regulations

Fishing Licences

Ontario’s Ministry of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry (The Ministry) provides general information on fishing licenses and regulations. With some, you must have a valid fishing licence to fish.

Four times a year, Canadian residents can fish in Ontario for free. This means you do not need to buy a fishing licence if you want to fish during:

  • Family Fishing Weekend in February (February 19-21, 2022)

  • Mother’s Day Weekend in May (May 7-8, 2022)

  • Father’s Day Weekend in June (June 18-19, 2022)

  • Family Fishing Week in July (July 2-10, 2022)

Fishing Rules

The Ministry also provides regulations for recreational fishing in Ontario, including information about open seasons, catch limits and fishing zones can be found here.
