Pack a picnic lunch and make a day of fishing either with a few friends or your family. However, before setting out on your adventure be sure to look over the fishing laws and regulations (you need a valid Outdoors Card and fishing license tag available at theOntario Ministry of Natural Resources), and know where you can and cannot fish. Below is a handy list of locations within the city that offer fishing.
Before finding a spot to cast off though, make sure you’re familiar with the basics to ensure you’re fishing responsibly. If you’re hungry, also make sure you know which fish are safe to eat. This, and other important information is available here.
And for the novice anglers, try connecting with TackleShare which will lend you a rod and reel free of charge. For those looking to invest in some new gear, try JB’s Fishing Depot,Al Flaherty’s Outdoor Store, True Canadian Outdoors, or Bass Pro Shops.
