Fishing

Peterborough and the Kawarthas

A unique blend of cool and warm water lakes in the Peterborough & the Kawarthas region provides anglers with an endless array of fishing opportunities. From the deeper coldwater lakes of the north, where northern pike and stocks of lake trout are found, to the weedy shallow bays of the tri-lake area where the mighty muskellunge roam, the waters of the Kawarthas produce some of the best fishing in the province. Visitors will see why Outdoor Canada Magazine named Peterborough & the Kawarthas one of the "Top 10 Places to Live and Fish."

Ontario's Fishing Regulation Changes Delayed - Anglers Should Continue to Use 2005-2006 Rules

Changes to Bass and Walleye Fishing Regulations

Most Canadian residents need an Outdoors Card to fish in Ontario if they are at least 18 years old but have not reached their 65th birthday. A complete and valid licence to fish consists of an Outdoors Card plus a fishing licence tag. If you want to fish in Ontario right away, you can buy a "Resident Fishing Licence and Outdoors Card Application" from one of more than 2,000 licence issuers across the province. A temporary paper licence is effective immediately and valid until December 31 of the year in which it was purchased. Click Here for more information on how to obtain an Ontario fishing licence.

If you do not live in Canada, you need a non-resident licence to fish in Ontario. Click Here for information on how to obtain a non-resident licence.
