You can fish for free on Father’s Day.
The weekend of June 15 and 16 marks one of four times this year Canadian residents can fish in Ontario without buying a fishing licence.
Outside of free fishing periods, Canadians between the ages of 18 and 65 are required to have an outdoors card and a fishing licence. The ministry notes anglers should still carry an ID card issued by the province or federal government, showing a name and birth date. Anglers are also required to follow all relevant conservation and catch limit restrictions.
In a news release, the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources noted fishing season is underway for species like yellow perch, common carp, northern pike, lake trout and walleye.
