Free Family Fishing Next Week in Ontario

The Province of Ontario is kicking off summer by offering free family fishing starting on Saturday.

This means you will be able to fish without a licence or Outdoors Card, from July 3 to 11. 

Minister of Northern Development, Mines, Natural Resources and Forestry Greg Rickford says he hopes people will take advantage. 

"Fishing is a time-honoured tradition and terrific way for families to spend time together. I hope everyone in Ontario is able to head down to a lake or river and take part in Free Fishing Week, this year." 

Families that take part in these activities are reminded to respect the regulations under Step 2 of the Roadmap to Reopen.

If you and your family are fishing during licence-free fishing periods or at other times, it's important to help keep recreational fisheries healthy for future generations by:

- Following conservation licence catch limits
- Obeying size limits and sanctuaries
- Following all other fishing regulations and rules.
