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:

  1. Sport fishing license, which includes full catch-and-possession fishing privileges
  2. 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
