Because Ontario fishing licenses are easy to secure in advance without having to stop on Pelee Island, even on most rough lake conditions, fishing can still be possible. Pelee is the largest of the Lake Erie islands, which offers anglers adequate protection in it's lee. May thru October are prime times to fish. A form of boarder crossing creditionals are now not necessary to fish Ontario waters of Lake Erie. If you have a passport or accepted document, please bring it along.
Non-resident Canadian fishing licenses are also available, sent through the mail, by calling the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources at 1-800-667-1940, but this method still might be recommended for 7-day or greater licenses.
Important Note: If you do have a license to fish Ontario waters for the days you charter, then a valid Ohio IS NOT necessary for those days. So this simply means that Anglers DO NOT have to possess an Ohio license if fish taken in Canadian waters with a valid Ontario license, and are returned back into Ohio waters. When fsihing Ontario waters and returning back to Ohio waters, each angler can only possess what the daily individual possession limit that Ohio has set.IMPORTANT WHEN FISHING LAKE ERIE AND CANADIAN WATERS
