Learn to Fish at Heart Lake Conservation Area

The Government of Ontario’s teaches people the art of angling in a way that aligns with conservation ideals.

Instructors introduce equipment and how to use it properly, and impart the lessons of sustainable fishing through the practice of catch-and-release.

This approach allows for the enjoyment of fishing, while at the same time supporting the goal of conserving and protecting fish populations.

Learn to Fish classes are offered throughout the summer at TRCA’s (10818 Heart Lake Road, Brampton) and (1 Leslie Street, Toronto).

All required equipment will be provided. Participants are able to fish on the day of their event without a license but must follow all Ontario fishing regulations.

• Sessions run rain or shine, but are subject to cancellation.
• Maximum participation per session is 30 people.
• The recommended age for participation is 6 and up.
• The program runs a full two hours and is not a drop-in program. Please be sure to arrive five minutes prior to your scheduled program time to ensure check-in. Participants who arrive late MAY be denied access to the program due to health and safety considerations.
