To kick off the spring fishing season, families, fishing enthusiasts, and first-time anglers across Ontario can celebrate Mother’s Day this weekend with free fishing.

Graydon Smith, Ontario’s Minister of Natural Resources and Forestry says it’s a fantastic way for families to get out and enjoy one of Ontario’s greatest natural resources, our beautiful lakes, rivers, and streams:

If you are fishing for free this weekend all conservation license catch-limits, size limits, sanctuaries, and all other fishing regulations and rules still apply.

Smith adds that the Province will allow free fishing again on the Father’s Day Weekend and the Family Fishing Week in July (July 1-9) as well.
