Outside of free fishing periods, Canadians between the ages of 18 and 65 are required to possess an outdoors card and a fishing licence.
You can fish for free on Father’s Day.
The weekend of June 15 and 16 marks one of four times this year Canadian residents can fish in Ontario without buying a fishing licence.
Outside of free fishing periods, Canadians between the ages of 18 and 65 are required to have an outdoors card and a fishing licence. The ministry notes anglers should still carry an ID card issued by the province or federal government, showing a name and birth date. Anglers are also required to follow all relevant conservation and catch limit restrictions.
In a news release, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources noted fishing season is underway for species like yellow perch, common carp, northern pike, lake trout and walleye.
