      History

      The Sport Fisheries Branch was created within the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests on April 1, 1971 when the Fish and Wildlife Branch was divided to form the Sport Fisheries Branch, the Commercial Fish and Fur Branch and the Wildlife Branch.

      The Sport Fisheries Branch formed part of the Outdoor Recreation Division of the Ontario Department of Lands and Forests from 1971 to 1972, and part of the Division of Fish and Wildlife of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources between 1972 and 1976.

      The Sport Fisheries Branch ceased to exist on April 1, 1976 when it was combined with the fisheries sections of the Ministry's Commercial Fish and Fur Branch to form the new Fisheries Branch.
