Guest Swan_Dive Report post Posted October 2, 2009 I was wondering....if I was fishing with say my wife who does not have a licence but I do and I hook into a fish, is she allowed to reel it in? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MNR Report post Posted October 3, 2009 Under the Ontario Fishery Regulations, you need be in possession of a licence in order to fish if you are over 18 and under 65 years of age. Sport fishing means “the taking of fish for non-commercial purposes by angling or by means of a spear, dip net, bait-fish trap, seine net or bow and arrow”. Angling means “fishing with a line that is held in the hand or attached to a rod that is held in the hand or closely attended”. So legally your wife needs a fishing licence in order to reel in the fish. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
