i.e.: It is illegal to fish for and keep sturgeon on the Ontario side of the Ottawa River. It is legal to keep one sturgeon in season on the Quebec side of the river. You'd be rightly slapped with a fine for keeping one in Quebec then crossing back into Ontario and having it in your possession while fishing the river.

Fishing at the provincial boundary is a lot more clear, it's spelled out on page 11 of the regs:

Quote:Limits in Boundary Waters
Anglers who fish in waters that lie both in Ontario and another province or state must include the total number of fish caught anywhere in those waters as part of the number caught and kept or possessed under the Ontario recreational fishing regulations when bringing those fish into Ontario.

No such clarity when it comes to balancing limits on different lakes within Ontario.

So you cannot catch a sturgeon in Quebec and bring it into Ontario.
