FISHING REGULATIONS
FIREARMS INFORMATION
• Licences: All non-residents of
Canada who want to fish in Ontario
require a current non-resident sports
fishing licence and a non-resident
Outdoors Card. Non-residents under
the age of 18 may fish without a
licence if accompanied by a licenced
family member. Any fish caught are
part of the limit of the person with the
licence. Canadian residents require a
resident fishing licence and a current
resident Outdoors Card.
• Bait: You cannot bring live minnows,
smelts, leeches or any other bait fish
into Ontario from the United States.
Night crawlers are allowed but they
must be brought in containers with
artificial bedding only.
• Limits and Regulations: With
countless lakes and streams, it is
important that anglers are aware of
the general regulations and of any
exceptions to the general regulations
(e.g. specific slots or catch and
possession limits) that may apply to
the lake you will be fishing. Ontario’s
Fishing Regulations can be viewed at
www.ontario.ca/fishing
Residents of the U.S. over the age
of 18 may bring a hunting rifle or
shotgun into Ontario for hunting
purposes. You are also allowed to
bring up to 200 rounds of ammunition
duty-free, or up to 1,500 rounds for
use at a recognized competition.
Firearms are subject to a registration
fee. It is suggested that you contact
the Canada Firearms Centre for
information before you attempt to
import a firearm. Residents of the U.S.
are encouraged to pre-register their
firearms prior to arriving. Handguns,
fully automatic weapons, modified
weapons, stun guns, mace and other
weapons are not allowed in Canada.
Proper storage of the firearm is
important so make sure you are aware
of the regulations. Of special note,
firearms of any kind are forbidden
in many of Canada’s National and
Provincial Parks and adjacent areas.
For information on importing your
firearm into Canada and to receive a
registration form, contact the Canadian
Firearms Centre at 1-800-731-4000 or

the rest of this great guidebook, but occasionally squirrels get into our computer, and inaccuracies can occur. We have told them
how we feel but they are persistent little rodents. If you find an error please tell us (and not the squirrels) and thank you for loving our
