    Eligibility

For example, if you were already drawn in one of the Special Walleye Licence draws, you cannot obtain another licence through the undersubscribed process. An angler may hold only one Special Fish Harvest Licence for walleye per year.

  • A person need not have applied in the draw to be eligible to obtain an undersubscribed special licence. Draw priorities are not affected by purchasing an undersubscribed special licence.

  • Any person in possession of a valid WIN and in compliance with the above may purchase a special licence.

Lost/destroyed licences - licences purchased at a licence issuer can be reprinted at any licence issuer for a $2.00 fee. Licences purchased online can be reprinted online at no charge.

Lost/destroyed tags - Tags issued by a licence issuer can be reprinted at any licence issuer for a $4.00 fee. A replacement tag(s) for a licence pruchased online can be replaced at no charge.
