Free fishing this Mother’s Day weekend

This is a message to all pikes, muskies and trout: take cover.

On May 9 and 10, Canadian residents can fish anywhere in Ontario without purchasing a license or an Outdoors Card.

“Fishing is a great way for families to make unforgettable memories while enjoying the outdoors,” said Mike Harris, Ontario’s Minister of Natural Resources. “Free fishing weekends are an opportunity to check out Ontario’s top‑notch fishing and take part in a timeless tradition that brings people together right across the province.”

If you want to take advantage of free fishing this weekend, remember that conservation license catch and size limits, sanctuaries and all other fishing regulations still apply.
