if they are at least 18 years of age but not reached their 65th birthday. |

license to fish in Ontario. |

regulations, is someone who is eligible for and is in possession of EITHER:

parking permit (or a photocopy of both
the front and back of the permit). A person carrying a photocopy
of the permit may be
asked to show the original permit at a later date. |
In addition, a person who has an intellectual impairment and
requires the assistance of another person in order to fish may fish without a
license.
If one of these exceptions is applicable, the Sport Fishing
catch and possession limits apply.

| Fishery laws limit the number of fish you can catch or
possess. The number depends on the type of license you hold, the species,
where they are caught and, in some cases, their size. Note that for some
species there are no limits. The CATCH limit is the number of fish you are allowed
to catch and keep in one day. The POSSESSION limit is the number
you are allowed to have in your possession on hand, in cold storage, in transit,
etc. Possession limits are the same as one
day's catch limit except where otherwise specified.
If you catch a fish after reaching the daily catch and
possession limit for that species, the fish must be released immediately back to
the water.
It is illegal to destroy, or to allow to spoil, fish which
have been lawfully caught and which are suitable for food.
