Fishing is a great way to get outdoors and enjoy our province.
Roughly 1.3 million anglers fish in Ontario each year, and they catch more 100 million fish and spend $2.5 billion in the province annually.
The Ministry of Natural Resources is launching a new, interactive, and easy-to-use online tool that will help anglers—and aspiring anglers—plan a fishing trip from start to finish.
With just a few clicks, anglers can find information for more than 13,000 lakes in Ontario via a searchable, Google-based mapping application that tells them:
•what fish species are available in which lakes;
•what lakes you should visit to catch your favourite species;
•where the nearest ServiceOntario locations for fishing licences or renewals;
•what regulations you have to follow; and
•how to get there, with directions to Ontario’s lakes and waterways from anywhere in North America.
