Urban Fishing Fundamentals

There are several factors to keep in mind if you and your family want to enjoy a safe, legal and of course, fun-filled urban fishing excursion on one of the ponds, rivers or lakes in your area. Here are ten key guidelines for a positive fishing experience.

1. Get licensed. If you are between the ages of 18 and 64, chances are you will need a licence in order to fish. There are several types available as outlined in the Recreational Fishing Regulations Summary. Information is also available online.

2. Don't trespass. Before you begin fishing, ensure that you are not trespassing on private property. Most public urban fishery sites in the Greater Toronto Area have signs designating public access. If you are unsure, check with your local municipality.
