ONTARIO’S PROVINCIAL POSSESSION LIMITS K

Always check the regulations for the zone in which you are fishing to ensure that you aren’t exceeding the catch and possession limit for that Zone.

Crappie: 30 HAVE YOU SEEN AN AMERICAN EEL? The Ministry of Natural Resources would like to know if you see or catch an American eel. This is an endangered species protected under Ontario’s Endangered Species Act. In recent decades, the American eel has declined in numbers due to a variety of factors, including over-fishing, migration barriers, hydro facilities, habitat loss, parasites, and pollution. The occurrence of eels has not been well documented and you can help determine where they are currently. Please contact the Natural Resources Information Centre at 1-800-667-1940 to report this information.
NOTE: • S refers to to limits under a Sport Fishing Licence Tag. • C refers to limits under a Conservation Fishing Licence Tag. • All size limits refer to total length, which measures from the tip of the mouth to the tip of the tail. • This section does not act as a subsitute for Ontario’s fishing regulations. Please be sure to read the Ontario Recreational Fishing Regulations prior to casting.
