Nothing screams Mother’s Day like a fishing trip!
To kick off the spring fishing season, families, fishing enthusiasts and first-time anglers across Ontario can celebrate Mother’s Day with free fishing this weekend.
“Whether you’re new to fishing or an experienced angler, it’s a great way to bond with family this Mother’s Day weekend,” says Graydon Smith, Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry. “This is a fantastic way for families to get out and enjoy one of Ontario’s greatest natural resources – our beautiful lakes, rivers and streams.”
Father’s Day weekend (Saturday, June 17th – Sunday, June 18th) will also be free. Family Fishing Week (Saturday, July 1st – Sunday, July 9th) to celebrate Canada Day is free as well.
If you are fishing for free on the Mother’s Day weekend, all conservation licence catch limits, size limits, sanctuaries and all other fishing regulations and rules still apply.
