So my family and I are going to our cabin on kipawa this weekend. I was wandering. If my cousin(16) and I(14) wanna out to fish a little, would we need a license. We are nonresidents.
I BELIEVE THAT IF THE TWO OF YOU ARE OUT IN THE BOAT BY YOURSELVES, ONE OF YOU MUST HAVE A LICENCE
Might be wrong but pretty sure anyone 18 and over required to have a Quebec fishing license
You do not need a license if you are fishing under the supervision of a license holder. You may only catch 1 possession limit combined. https://www.quebec.ca/en/tourism-and-recreation/sporting-and-outdoor-activities/sport-fishing/fishing-licence/ Scroll down to " who can fish under my license.
I concur with Rhybak-----------One of you would require a license; I suggest the 16 year old.
You could then keep one limit of fish.
Do they need to be direct relation like husband / wife ?
We buy the family license and I was under the impression that everyone that is fishing under that license had to have the same address and only one limit. But not sure....
@Rboyarko, you need a license. So does your cousin.
From the regs in the link posted by Captain Hali:
"
If you are 18 years of age or older, certain other people may be able to fish under your license." Since neither of your party is that age (and assuming you won't be with someone who is at least 18 and who has a license) you each need a license.
For those of you 18 and up, these are the people who can fish under your license:
- your spouse
- your children (and those of your spouse) who are under 18 years of age
- your children (and those of your spouse) who are between 18 and 24 years of age and who have a valid student card in their possession
- any person under 18 years of age
- any student between 18 and 24 years of age who has a valid student card in his or her possession
In the last two cases, the person without a license must be "under the supervision of the license holder or his or her spouse".
And...
"In all cases, the total number of fish caught and kept per day must not exceed the number authorized for the license holder."
All of the above applies to Quebec residents and non-residents alike.
