About this site

Ontario Fishing Hotspots combines free, public data sources to help you pick where and when to fish:

• Fish stocking records — Fish Stocking Data for Recreational Purposes, Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources (Open Government Licence – Ontario).
• Zone boundaries — Fisheries Management Zone, Land Information Ontario.
• Depth charts — Bathymetry Line (Ontario MNR). Not for navigation.
• Boat launches & shore access — Fishing Access Point (Ontario MNR) merged with OpenStreetMap slipways & fishing spots via the Overpass API.
• Weather — Open-Meteo forecast & geocoding APIs (free, no key).
• Map — Leaflet with CARTO / OpenStreetMap basemaps.

⚠️ Fishing scores are an informal guide, not a guarantee of fish. Regulations shown here are a convenience summary only — always confirm seasons, limits and licence rules in the official Ontario Fishing Regulations Summary before you fish.
