To fish in Québec’s waters, you must have a valid fishing licence (with some exceptions). You must carry the licence with you when you fish, and be able to show it immediately when asked to do so by a wildlife protection officer or assistant.
- Annual licences are valid from April 1 to March 31 of the following year.
- One‑day, three‑day and seven‑day licences are valid for the dates entered on them at the time they are purchased.
- The fees include all taxes and a contribution to the Fondation de la Faune du Québec.
