i should have mentioned talkin bout walleye
Depends on which province you have a license for and what side of the lake you are on.
Found this here
Boundary waters
Anglers who fish in waters that lie both in Ontario and another province or state must include the total number of fish caught anywhere in those waters as part of the number caught and kept or possessed under the Ontario recreational fishing regulations when bringing those fish into Ontario.
Hope this helps.
There's nothing grey about it, if you have an Ontario fishing license then you follow the Ontario regs.
You're just looking for a loophole so you can keep more fish than you should.
Bit harsh I think. Would like to believe just asking clarification. I'm no expert and would differ to the MNR however as I read it.Quote:

In any case one can keep in possession only one limit of fish, not one from each jurisdiction.
Pretty straightforward.
Legalese is all about definitions.
Possession is clearly defined.
It also includes how many fish are in the freezer at the cottage, or home….
I suppose in theory, you could buy a Que licence just as we do when vacation. Not sure if this is a work around. Maybe.
But at some point. You have to dock. Clean them/freeze them in Ontario.
Possession limit
The total number of a species of fish that you can have in your possession at any time. It includes fish caught today and in the past, whether they are:
freshly landed
in your car or boat
in your cooler
at home in your fridge or freezer
Does that also include the ones you ate but have/haven't pooped out yet? :oQuote:

Not harsh at all. The regs are crystal clear. If you have an Ontario license, then you follow the Ontario rules. There's nothing ambiguous about it.Quote:

Most other places 4 walleye only 1 over 18in. So if im allowed 5 any size and rolling down hwy and get checked how do i prove where i caught them?
You don’t have to prove anything. Just say where they were caught. The crown has to prove an offence was committed ....Quote:

Been fishing both sides of Lake Temiskaming for years, using my Ontario license and abiding by Ontario laws and limits. Been checked out (on the water) without issue. If stopped on the road, tell them where you caught them.Quote:

Which, if you have an Ontario license and more fish than you're allowed by Ontario regs, means you will lose and wind up paying the fine.
This is very, very simple.
That's not exactly how it works. If you get stopped and have more than the Ontario limit, then you will be charged. It is up to YOU to prove otherwise.Quote:
