Provincial Licences:
You are required to purchase a general fishing license or a salmon fishing license to angle in the waters of Nova Scotia, with the following exceptions: o No license is required to angle in tidal waters; however, seasons and bag limits are still in effect. (See details for each Recreational Fishing Area, Other Angling Seasons, page 29, and Bag Limits, page 32, for more information.) The boundaries of tidal waters are defined by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans. Check each Recreational Fishing Area for tidal water closures. o No license is required to fish in legally constructed private ponds or U-fish operations (commercially licensed aquaculture operations), nor do seasons or bag limits apply. Permission to fish must be obtained from the owner.
