T-Bone Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 After a long wait me and a few of my long-time friends are heading up to Pigeon Lake in a couple weeks for a long-weekend of R&R. I looked online to see approximately how much a 3-day (or week) long Ontario Fishing license would cost for a non-resident and the site was nothing short of confusing. It reads in places like I need to order it online and print it myself....in others it's wildly inexpensive (like $6.50), but you have to be a "member of an organized camp". Not sure what that means...we're staying at an organized camp...not sure if that makes me a member though. Anyway...can someone shine some light on please? We'd prefer conservation license, and really only need a 3-dayer. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.mech Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 (edited) Each non-resident would have to buy an outdoors card and an 8 day non-resident license. The card will be sent in the mail later but the 8 day license needs to be printed and carried (make a pdf copy just in case). This can be done here: http://www.ontario.ca/page/fishing-licence-non-residents-canada The outdoors card is about 10 bucks (good for 3 years) and an 8 day NR Sportfishing license is about 54 bones. All prices are here: http://www.ontario.ca/page/fishing-licence-fees-non-canadian-residents#section-0 Edited September 11, 2015 by G.mech Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Bone Posted September 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Thanks for the info. I haven't fished in Ontario for at least 7-8 years, and the Outdoors Card is new to me. What's that for? Paid fee permission to fish in the lakes or be 'part of' the environment experience? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave524 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 It's part of the government's hand in your pocket experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister G Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 A outdoor card is like a NFL seat license that allows you to purchase a seat/fishing license......think MONEY GRAB at it's finest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Lk Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 If you & your group are Canadian non-residents ie(another province),you can only buy 1 day or 1 yr licenses,Outdoors cards are needed for anything except 1 day.Non- Canadian fishermen can buy 8 day licenses & also need an Outsdoors card.
