Fishing License Information
Ontario Non-Resident Fishing Licenses
Non-Canadian residents 18 years of age and over must purchase a valid fishing license. A valid fishing license in Ontario consists of an Outdoors Card (a plastic ID card valid for three calendar years) and a Fishing License tag (valid for one or three calendar years).
Non-Canadian residents under age 18 may fish without a license if accompanied by an adult who has a valid fishing license. Any fish they keep are part of the catch and possession limit of the person holding the license. To gain their own limits, they’ll need their own Outdoors Card and license.
Ontario Fishing Regulations
- While fishing you must carry your valid Outdoors Card and License Summary listing your valid fishing license unless your license is printed on the back of your Outdoors Card.
- Only barbless hooks are permitted in the Quetico Park. Barbed hooks may be in a tackle box but cannot be on the fishing line. Barbed hooks must be pinched before being attached to a fishing line.
- Only artificial bait may be used. No live or dead organic bait, including but not limited to leeches, worms, and salted minnows.
- Lead-free tackle is encouraged.
