Fishers are welcome at Little Lake and Orr Lake in Springwater. You can also fish at several smaller creeks, rivers and ponds. See the Fish ON-Line Map for regulatory and stocking details on each spot.
Tips for a good fishing experience
Be considerate, have fun and stay safe |
Be polite to your fishing neighbours and the environment by following these rules:
|
Choose the right location |
Don't trespass when choosing a place to fish. All fishing sites are on public land and it's your responsibility to make sure you aren't on private property. |
Get licensed |
With the exception of Family Fishing Weeks, you need a licence to fish in Ontario. Visit the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry's website for information on how and where to get a licence. |
Know what you can and can't eat |
You can't always eat what you catch. Check the guide for Eating Ontario Fish or call 1-800-820-2716 to order a copy. |
Learn about the rules and regulations |
The Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry identifies fishing rules, size limits and size restrictions. Visit their website for more information. |
