You don’t need a licence to fish in tidal or salt water, but you need to follow federal and provincial rules while fishing.
To fish for any species of fish (except salmon) in fresh water in Nova Scotia, you need to have a General Fishing Licence. You also need to follow provincial and federal fishing rules, including seasons, gear and bag limits.

The link above takes you to the page to apply for a Nova Scotia Government fishing license.
A General Fishing Licence is not valid for salmon fishing.
Licence options
You can apply for a seasonal (annual) licence or a 1-day licence.​
Where you can and can’t fish
As a licence holder, you’re allowed to fish in lakes, rivers and streams during the open fishing season. You aren’t allowed to fish in privately owned fishponds, rearing ponds, nature reserves or national parks.
