New Card/Fee for Canadian Non-Res licenses

[waterlogged]

Over the weekend I heard that Ontario now requires an additional card besides you non-resident license.

True

All of the following are still available at the Ontario MNR toll free number as long as you call 5 weeks prior to your fish date and at most (1,800) license issuing locations. That toll free number (same number as in the past) is 800-667-1940.

Non-Canadian Resident Temporary Fishing Outdoors Card - $9.00 good for 3 years

Sport Fishing Licence Tag - valid for the calendar year - $68.00

Conservation Fishing Licence Tag - $41.75

Eight-day Sport Fishing Licence* - $43.50

Eight-day Conservation Fishing Licence * - $25.25

One-Day Sport Fishing Licence (Great Lakes and connecting waters including Lake St. Clair, Rondeau Bay, St. Lawrence River and Lake St. Francis) Available from many charter boat operators, licence issuers and ServiceOntario offices along the Great Lakes and throughout Southern Ontario - $18.25

* Eight-day fishing licences are valid for eight consecutive calendar days. A calendar day is a 24-hour period starting at 12:00 a.m.

Aggregate Limits for Trout and Salmon – In addition, throughout

the province there are standard aggregate limits for all species

of trout and salmon in combination: S – 5 and C – 2; that is you

may only catch and keep in one day or possess no more than five

trout and salmon in total under a Sport Fishing Licence or two

trout and salmon in total under a Conservation Fishing Licence.

NOTE: In addition to the aggregate limit, you may not exceed

individual species limits where they are otherwise stated. (e.g.,

the S limit for Atlantic salmon is one and you may not catch and

keep or possess more than one Atlantic salmon at any time).

i beleive the Conservation only allows your to keep half of the limit of the sportfishing license... i think

[Tim Bromund]

yup, the conservation license has lower take/posession limits than the full sportfishing license.
