Aurora Trout Fishing Regulations - Holy Grail of Trout

•Ontario Location: Anywhere in Ontario

•Open Season: August 1 to October 15 (2014 & 2017 on Lake #21)

•Limit - Sport License: 1 in your possession - only 1 catch per day

•Limit - Conservation License: Not allowed to target Aurora Trout

Special Status: NO MULTI-CATCH & RELEASE - Only open for angling for 2.5 months every 3 years. The use of live bait is prohibited on Aurora Trout lakes. The use of motors is prohibited on Aurora Trout lakes.

The catch and possession limit is one (1) fish for holders of a sport fishing license and you can only catch one (1) per day. The catch and possession limit is zero (0) fish for holders of a conservation license. You cannot fish on an Aurora Trout lake at all with a conservation licence.

There has been some confusion about NO MULTI-CATCH & RELEASE. There are additional regulations pertaining to Aurora Trout under the Endangered Species Act that are not in the general regulations. You are allowed to catch one (1) Aurora Trout per day. You can keep it or let it go but that's it. No more fishing for the rest of the day on that lake. If you do keep the trout, you must eat it to be able to fish the next day. If you give the trout to friends, you cannot fish on that lake until they eat the trout because legally it's still the trout that you caught.
