Fishing Licenses in Canada
These are just some of the benefits you’ll enjoy when fishing. Buy a licence now and go get ’em!
In Canada, for example, all anglers aged 18-65 require an Outdoors Card and a valid freshwater fishing licence before they can fish in any of the province’s waters.
If you are 18-65 years old, before you can start fishing, you will need a valid:
- Outdoors Card (a plastic identification card, valid for three calendar years), and
- a fishing licence (valid for either one or three calendar years)
If you are under 18 years old, or 65+
You do not need to purchase an Outdoors Card or licence to fish. You will need to carry your government-issued identification with you, that includes your name and date of birth, at all times while fishing. Your identification acts as your licence to fish, if you are younger than 18, or older than 65!
