Ontario offers some of the best fishing opportunities in Canada with diverse fish species and beautiful natural settings. The fishing season in Ontario varies depending on the species and fishing zone.
The general fishing season typically runs from January 1st to December 31st, but specific dates for different fish species may vary. Popular species include walleye, bass, pike, muskie, and trout. Each species has its own specific season dates and regulations that anglers must follow.
Ontario is divided into 20 fisheries management zones, each with its own specific regulations. Anglers should always check the current Ontario Fishing Regulations Summary for the most up-to-date information about seasons, catch limits, and special restrictions in their chosen fishing area.
Fishing licenses are required for all anglers between 18 and 64 years old. Both resident and non-resident licenses are available, with different fees applying. Conservation licenses are also available for those who wish to keep fewer fish.
The best fishing seasons in Ontario generally are spring and fall when fish are most active. However, ice fishing during winter months provides unique opportunities for catching species like walleye, perch, and pike through the ice. |
