Using the search tool

Use the search filters to target the fishing zone and the body of water where you want to fish (to know your fishing zone, consult the interactive map).

For information on current fishing periods, limits and exceptions:

  1. Select the fishing zone.
  2. Check whether the body of water you are searching for is on the "Bodies of Water – Regulatory Exceptions" list.

If the body of water you are looking for is not on the proposed list, it is because the applicable rules are the same as those of the zone.

To know the general rules for one fishing zone, consult this Fishing zones page.

To know the changes that occur during the season, consult our "News page".

IMPORTANT: catch limits and fishing periods that apply in wildlife territories may differ from those mentioned here. In these cases, you will be informed on the spot. Make sure you understand the different limits.
