just picked this up from Ontario online fishing license regs - for the doubters - lol.
Who does not need to purchase a Canadian resident Outdoors Card and Fishing Licence Tag?
A person is deemed to be the holder of a recreational fishing licence if they are:
1. Residents of Ontario and Canada under 18 years old, or 65 years of age or older and in possession of any licence, permit, certificate or identification card issued by the Government of Canada or a provincial or territorial government of Canada that indicates their name and date of birth.
2. Disabled Ontario and Canadian residents eligible for and in possession of one of the following:
•A Canadian National Institute for the Blind National Identity Card issued to them
•An Ontario Ministry of Transportation Accessible Parking Permit issued to them
•A black and white photocopy or printed version of an electronic copy of the Ontario Ministry of Transportation Accessible Parking Permit accompanied by any licence, permit, certificate or identification card issued by the Government of
Canada or a provincial or territorial government of Canada that indicates the person's name and date of birth.
3. Any licence, permit, certificate or identification card issued by the Government of Canada or a provincial or territorial government of Canada that indicates the person's name and date of birth where the individual must be accompanied by and require the direct assistance of another person to fish and follow applicable fishing laws due to a condition of mental impairment or a developmental disability, a learning disability or dysfunction, or a mental disorder. The person accompanying the above person does not require a fishing licence if they are only assisting, but must have a licence if they wish to engage in fishing.
Those who qualify to fish with a deemed licence, as indicated above, must follow the same catch and possession limits as holders of a Canadian resident sport fishing licence tag. Additionally, they have the same responsibilities as those who have purchased an Outdoors Card and fishing licence tag and must abide by all regulations.
