Great question! In Ontario, the fees vary depending on whether you are a resident or non-resident. As of recent years, a resident sport fishing licence is quite affordable, and there are also options for one-day or eight-day licences if you are just visiting for a short trip. I would recommend checking the Ontario government website for the most up-to-date pricing since fees can change year to year. Also worth noting that seniors over 65 and kids under 18 have different rules too.
