If you Fish the Canadian side, you need an Onterio fishing license. If you fish the US side, you need a Michigan license. Both can be obtained on line.

Since you are staying on the Canadian side I would just stick to Ontario waters since the fishing has been the best on that side of the lake.

You can get an Ontario license here: http://www.mnr.gov.on.ca/en/Business/LetsFish/2ColumnSubPage/STDPRO...

If you have a "sportsmans card" from Canada an 8 day licence is only $26.00 (for conservation only). I would get both and I would buy the Michigan one online. Most of the trolling takes place in the big, southern section of the lake and a majority of that is canadian. If/when you get up you can get a canadian license at Joe's bait and tackle in New Baltimore. The big section of the lake is trolling heaven and the northern section that contains the channels is more of a casting section. I have fished that lake a number of times and you cant go wrong either way. Good luck
