随着夏季来临,加人最热衷的活动之一——垂钓也已经蓄势待发。在安省,18至64岁的垂钓客必须拥有钓鱼牌照,才能在省内众多美丽的湖泊和河流享受垂钓之乐。但是,安省政府也会在每年的2月和7月指定两个周末,安排两次免牌垂钓活动。安省下一次加拿大居民免牌垂钓活动定于2015年7月4日至12日(周六上午12:01分至周日晚间11:59分)。

Summer is here and one of our Canadian favourite activities – Angling gets into high gear. In Ontario, a license is required for everyone between the ages of 18 and 64 to fish in its many thousands of beautiful lakes and rivers. Twice a year, however, the Ontario Government designates two weekends as license-free periods in February and July. Our next Canadian Resident license-free period is coming on July 4-12, 2015 (12:01 a.m. Saturday to 11:59 p.m. Sunday).


我的第一次加拿大之行是在1968年,当时我就被加国许多清澈的河流湖泊深深吸引,并立即开始享受垂钓之乐。然而到了1970年代,工业扩张和环保意识缺乏却导致污染肆虐。所幸在接下来的几十年里,政府采取了补救措施,自然环境也渐渐得以恢复往日生机。

When I first arrived in Canada in 1968, I was impressed by its many pristine rivers and lakes and immediately took on the sport of fishing. During the 1970’s, pollution was rampant – a result of industrial expansion and lack of awareness to protect the environment. Over the next few decades, remedial action was taken and nature has made slow but steady recoveries.


目前,我们又可以见到大群鳟鱼和鲑鱼越过自然瀑布,攀上人工坝的鱼梯。由于聚集在水坝的鱼群非常密集,人们甚至可以想象在春季和秋季的洄游产卵旺季时踩着鱼背过河。

Today, we can see trout and salmon jumping over the natural falls and climbing up fish ladders at artificial river barriers again in large numbers. Fish gathered at the dams are so thick that people can imagine walking across the river on their backs during spring and fall spawning runs.


在多伦多周边,人们可以在西部的Credit River和Humber River,以及东部的Duffins Creek和Highland Creek看到这种洄游奇观。我建议所有没有见过这种自然奇观的人都去一饱眼福。这与中国的情况截然相反,据我所知现在中国野外淡水鱼几近绝迹,市场上所售的大部分鱼类都是水塘养鱼。

Around Toronto, these places are at the Credit and Humber Rivers in the west and Duffins and Highland Creeks in the east. I would recommend everyone to see this natural phenomenon if they have not done so already. Contrary to China’s situation, I was told that there are few fresh water fishes in the wild these days. Most of the fish in their markets are pond raised.


那么如何在安省乐享垂钓良机呢?

So what must we do to take advantage of this wonder opportunity to fish in Ontario?


首先,你应该从安省自然资源厅获取钓鱼牌照!(可登陆网站https://www2.on.wildlifelicense.com/start.php?lang=1)

Start with getting a license from the Ministry of Natural Resources! (https://www2.on.wildlifelicense.com/start.php?lang=1)


无论你在加拿大是移民还是居民身份,安省居民的定义是指一个人主要居住地是安省,并且在申请钓鱼牌照前的12个月里至少连续6个月居住在省内。你可以获取有效期一天的钓鱼牌照,或是有效期一年的钓鱼牌照(最长为3年)。如果你打算每年垂钓三次以上,那申请一年期牌照要比每次去申请一天牌照划算得多。当然,如果你不足18岁或是已经超过65岁,那你根本无需钓鱼牌照!

Regardless of your immigration and residence status in Canada, an Ontario resident is defined as a person whose primary residence is in Ontario and who has lived in the province for a period of at least 6 consecutive months during the 12 months immediately before applying for a licence. You can get a one-day fishing license or a yearly license (for up to 3 years). If you plan to fish for more than 3 times a year, it will be more economical to get a yearly license as oppose to a day-license every time. Of course, if you are under 18 or over 65 years old, you don’t need a license to fish!


此外,在私人土地、养鱼场或私人垂钓俱乐部,以及特许渔船上和土著保留区内(经许可或授权)垂钓时,也可豁免钓鱼牌照。

License exemptions are also applicable to the following scenarios – fishing on private land, on a fish farm or private fishing club, on a Chartered fishing boat, and on Native Reserved Land (with permission or qualifications).


目前,自然资源厅将安省划分为20个渔业管理区域,它们对开放时间、禁渔区、所钓鱼的尺寸及限制都制定有各自的垂钓管理章程。这些章程每年都会根据管理研究及目标进行调整,以保护个别鱼种。

The Ministry divides Ontario into 20 fisheries management zones with their own fishing regulations on opening periods, sanctuaries, and harvesting sizes and limits. These are adjusted every year based on management studies and targets to conserve individual fish species.


另外,自然资源厅每年都会发布“安省吃鱼”指引,以确定污染水平较低的鱼种和垂钓目的地。由于毒素会在鱼的身体内累积,因此鱼体型越大体内毒素就越多。为此,自然资源厅亦制定了有关鱼类消耗额度和食用频率指引,以确保食用量不会超过安全建议量。

An “Eating Ontario Fish” guide is also published by the Ministry every year to identify species and angling destinations with lower contaminant levels. Toxins are cumulative inside the body of fishes so the larger the fish, the more toxins it congregate in its flesh. Guidelines are established for consumption rate and frequencies to make sure that safety guideline are not exceeded.


在下一篇文章中,我们将探讨可以在安省乐享的各种垂钓方式(岸边、船上及池塘垂钓),以及最有可能捕获和食用的不同鱼种。

Next time, we will talk about the different kinds of fishing (from shore, in a boat, and from ponds) that we can enjoy and the different fish species we are most likely to catch and eat in Ontario.
