Fish Sanctuaries
More Information
No fishing of any kind is permitted in a fish sanctuary.
Some bodies of water, or parts of them, are declared fish sanctuaries for all or part of the year.
Fish sanctuary locations in each fisheries management zone can be found in the Ontario Fishing Regulations Summary. Refer to the section titled Exceptions to the Zone Regulations for the zone in which you will be fishing.
Note also that fish sanctuary areas are not always marked with signs. If you are at all uncertain, check with the local MNR office before fishing.
