Black Crappie fishing in Ontario — seasons & limits by zone

Black Crappie open seasons and catch limits across Ontario's fisheries management zones, from the official 2026 regulations.

Use this before you fish

This page is a province-wide starting point for black crappie: scan the zones, find the water you plan to fish, then open that zone page for the exact season wording, limits, size notes, and source link. If a lake or river has an exception, the waterbody rule can be more specific than the zone-wide answer.

In the app, TackleDex does this check at your current location, keeps your catch log private, and turns a legal catch into FishDex progress without exposing your spot.
