To fish in Ontario, you must possess a valid fishing license. Non-Resident fishing licenses may be purchased anywhere in Ontario before departing for Way North. It is important to carry your license with you at all times when fishing, in case that you are asked to show your license to a fishery officer. Anyone who lives outside of Canada is considered a non-resident for the purpose of fishing license regulations. Non-residents under 18 years of age may fish without a license if accompanied by an adult who has a recreational fishing license. Any fish caught are part of the catch and possession limit of the adult who holds the license. As another option, non-residents under 18 years may purchase a license and any fish caught apply to the catch and possession limits of that license.
