A great idea for some time with Dad this weekend,
Fishing is free across Ontario !
The provincial government says families and friends can go fishing anywhere in Ontario without having to purchase a licence or carry an Outdoors Card.
“Father’s Day weekend is a great time to get out on one of Ontario’s beautiful lakes or rivers and enjoy fishing,” said Graydon Smith, Minister of Natural Resources. “Fishing is a fun activity for everyone in the family and it’s a great way to spend time together, so I encourage you to cast a line June 15 and 16 to celebrate Father’s Day.”
If you are fishing for free during the free period, all conservation licence catch limits, size limits, sanctuaries and all other fishing regulations and rules still apply.
If you are fishing for free during this period, you need to carry identification issued by the provincial or federal government, showing your name and date of birth.
