MNR Hoping For Enjoyable Free Fishing Week

Stay safe, have fun and follow the rules!

That's the message from the Ministry of Natural Resources on the eve of "Free Family Fishing Week".

You don't need a licence to cast a line starting on Saturday and running until July 15th.

However, officials are reminding first time and veteran anglers that they must follow all of the rules and regulations.

The MNR says fishing regulations, limits and fines for violations remain in effect during the event.

Officials also remind everyone hitting the lake to wear a life-jacket.

Copies of the rules are available by visiting the Ministry of Natural Resources website or by visiting ServiceOntario centres.
