Children and Licences
Youngsters who are not yet turned 18 years old may fish without a licence as long as they are in the company of an adult who has a licence. But young persons without a licence are not entitled to their own limit of fish, rather the fish they catch are counted as part of the accompanying adult's limit. Young persons not yet 18 can of course buy a licence of their own.

Pit's Bait Store in Chapleau

Pit's sells fishing licences. Pit's phone number is 705-864-0541. Pit's is open on week days and on Saturday.

Please note that Pit's closes at 2 pm on Sunday.

The office of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) in Chapleau also issues fishing licences, but only from Monday through Friday and just during government business hours.

Also consider that if for some unforeseen reason Pit's happens to be closed on a Saturday, you will not be able to buy a fishing licence on that day in Chapleau.

We therefore recommend that you buy your fishing licence before you reach Chapleau. Here are some convenient ways and places to do that.

Online with your computerchecksmall (1K)

You can obtain your outdoor card or your licence immediately online and print it on your own printer. You must have a printer attached to your computer (either black and white or in color).

You will be instructed to print your licence document and you will have to carry it with you while fishing. The licence that you will print is the only one you will receive.
