Free fishing weekends aim to introduce new anglers to the sport while highlighting the importance of recreational fishing to Ontario’s economy.
The Ontario government is inviting all Canadian residents to fish for free across the province on June 14 and 15 in celebration of Father’s Day weekend.
“This Father’s Day weekend, take the opportunity to head outdoors, cast a line and create lasting memories with the people who matter most,” said Mike Harris, Minister of Natural Resources.
“Whether it’s your first-time fishing or a time-honoured family tradition, this is a great way to explore Ontario’s beautiful lakes and rivers while supporting the local communities, jobs and businesses that depend on our province’s diverse fishing opportunities.”
Free fishing weekends aim to introduce new anglers to the sport while highlighting the importance of recreational fishing to Ontario’s economy, particularly in tourism and local employment.
Participants are reminded that all conservation license limits, size restrictions, and fishing regulations still apply during the free fishing weekend, even without a license.
