Are you ready to reel in a big one?
To celebrate Father's Day, there's a free family fishing weekend on June 15-16. It means Ontario residents can drop a line in the water anywhere in the province 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, in a news release.
Conservation catch limits and other regulations still apply. You can learn more about those here.
While you don't need a licence to fish, people participating still must be carrying a government-issued identification showing their name and date of birth.
If you can't drop a line this weekend, free Family Fishing Week is coming up June 29-July 7.
