Chicken	09/14/2015 07:34AM Just to completely close this thread. We did our trip last week, and they were able to print our errant fishing license at Prairie Portage for a $12 cd.
Pinetree	08/17/2015 08:42PM Interesting,I bought a 3 year license and on my outdoor plactic card it says 3 year fishing. They sent me this card.
butthead	08/15/2015 03:21PM You can save it by printing to .pdf as Bill said. But the Save E-License saves as a downloaded HTML Document, and can be printed directly without converting to .pdf. So neither way is wrong. Just thought Chicken may have it, but not looked for the file type used by Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. butthead

Anything I print I can choose a printer or acrobat." Bill, this is correct. You just have to do it when you bu the license online. I printed mine to PDF, and then printed multiple copies at a later time from that PDF.
Chicken	08/14/2015 01:23PM Looks like I am down to buying a new license or getting a reprint at Prairie Portage.I tried butthead's idea and I even dug through history on the browser but I had no luck. I understand that they are clear on the website, but this seems like a very simple fix to send out an email with your fishing license pdf attached, like the majority of other online print out type purchases.
butthead	08/14/2015 09:11AM You may still have it on your computer. Look in your "download" folder, under header "date modified" pick the date you purchased your license. on my system it's file type is "Chrome HTML Document". That is the document saved and printed from, complete with Ontario watermark (I saved 2 copies, redundancy). butthead
Thwarted	08/13/2015 09:11PM Chicken, I an technologically challenge so forgive me if this is too obvious. When I do what you did, I can usually retrieve the email through my trash file or by searching in the search place with the looking glass icon thingy.

Chicken	08/13/2015 08:33AM Thank you for suggestion walleye_hunter, I tried again. I got nearly the same response as I did the first time. Essentially a scolding for not saving the original message. I have a message into our outfitter to see if they can do anything.
walleye_hunter	08/12/2015 05:56PM Chicken- A couple of years ago I accidentally deleted my current Ontario License. I didn't realize it until I printed it, thinking it was current, and noticed it was for the year before. Basically I'm an idiot and deleted the one I should have kept and kept the one I wanted to delete. I called them and explained my deal. The women was able to verify that I had purchased a license for the current year. She could not email it to me like I had hoped but she was able to have one sent to me in the mail. I'd call them again and maybe you will get someone a little more helpful on the phone.
butthead	08/12/2015 03:13PM The document and document receipt download as .pdf. But needs to be saved as HTML. Just went thru the process, but printed and saved both. If you think it is saved in downloads like normal .pdf it does not. butthead PS: Tip, print on waterproof paper I Guage 8mil, is my choice. bh
billconner	08/12/2015 01:35PM Out of curiosity, had you printed it to a pdf, would that allow you to reprint as needed? I guess I'm asking does it seem you could print to a pdf?
Ausable	08/12/2015 09:18AM I know that Prairie Portage does sell Ontario fishing licenses, so they must be an authorized dealer. However, their online connection is definitely low bandwidth, so I don't know how easy it would be for them to retrieve a copy of your license. Are you working with an Ely-area outfitter? If so, I'd give them a call to see what advice or help they can give you.
Chicken	08/12/2015 07:43AM Pulled a Doh! moment, and one of our fishing license from Ontario did not print properly. I called Ontario Natural Resources 1-800 number figuring this would be an easy fix, unfortunately after 20 minutes on hold I got a firm no on receiving a reprint. They informed me that I would need to go to an authorized dealer to get a reprint. Does anyone know if Prairie Portage can do these reprints? Or is there someone in Ely?
