Before You Head Out and Fish
You can buy your fishing license online and save it in a digital format (for example, on your smartphone), print it from home, or print it through a participating ServiceOntario or license issuer location.
Two types of fishing licenses are available:
- Sport fishing license, which includes full catch-and-possession fishing privileges
- Conservation fishing license, which includes reduced catch-and-possession limits. This is ideal for anglers who want to release the majority of fish they catch.
Fishing licenses are available for different durations, including: one day, eight days, one year, three years
