Non-resident anglers under the age of 16 who do not wish to fish for Atlantic salmon do not require an angling licence. These anglers have their own daily bag limit.
Non-resident anglers under the age of 16 may fish for Atlantic salmon without an angling licence if they are accompanied by an angler with a valid salmon licence. The licence holder must include the child’s Atlantic salmon catch in their daily catch and release limit.
Anglers 10 to 15 years old who want to have their own catch and release limit of Atlantic salmon must buy a salmon licence and are subject to a guide requirement.
