Wishing for some fishing? Manitobans are invited to participate in a weekend of free ice fishing.
This will take place this weekend during the Winter Family Fishing Weekend from February 18-20.
“Manitoba has a great tradition of quality ice fishing, a leisure activity that both Manitobans and visitors to our province look forward to participating in every winter,” Sustainable Development Minister Cathy Cox said in a release today. "It is a great way to spend a winter day with family or friends and there are endless opportunities throughout our province to get a line in the water.”
Cox notes that those who wish to fish should make sure conditions are safe before heading out on the ice to drop a line.
You will be able to fish without a license provincewide this weekend, but regular conservation limits still apply and a federal license will still be required to fish in national parks.
