Rules and Regulations
Fishing Regulations
To fish scheduled salmon waters south of 52° N in Labrador a non-resident must be accompanied by a licensed guide or by a direct relative who is a resident of the province. A non-resident may fish unaccompanied on non-scheduled waters within 800 metres of a provincial highway.

North of 52° N, a non-resident must engage the services of an outfitter. See our Outfitters page for a current list.

Non-resident trout anglers must have a separate trout licence to retain Brook trout caught while fishing scheduled waters, and to fish for Arctic char, northern pike, and landlocked salmon on both scheduled and unscheduled waters. These trout licences are widely available.
 
Hunting Regulations
Hunting for big game, small game, or migratory birds may take place only within designated seasons and require the appropriate license.

Non-resident big game licences for bear, moose, and caribou are available only through licenced outfitters. Interested hunters should contact the outfitter of their choice to determine the availability of licences and obtain the required forms. Non-resident big game hunters must be accompanied by a licenced guide, provided by the outfitter as part of the package.

Non-resident small game (ptarmigan, grouse, hares, and waterfowl) hunters do not require a guide, but must have the required small game licence, and possess equivalent proof of a hunter education course. Daily and seasonal limits must be respected.
