Be considerate, have fun and stay safe
Be polite to your fishing neighbours and the environment by following these rules:
Respect other fishers beside you and don't crowd fishing areas
Don't litter
Don't leave hooks unattended
Don't release live bait
Be careful when fishing near flowing water
Don't trespass when choosing a place to fish. All fishing sites are on public land and it's your responsibility to make sure you aren't on private property.
With the exception of Family Fishing Weeks, you need a licence to fish in Ontario. Visit the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's website for information on how and where to get a licence.
