Celebrate National Fishing Week – go fishing! The purpose of this week, from July 1 to 9, 2017, is to encourage Canadians to get out and enjoy putting a line in one of Canada’s million lakes, rivers and streams. And to get you motivated, you don’t even have to buy a fishing license if you fish on the two days at the start of the week and the two days at the end. So, to clarify that  ….

a license is not required on:

• July 1st
• July 2nd
• July 8th
• July 9th

What a great opportunity to take the family on a short fishing holiday weekend. So let’s celebrate National Fishing Week while we’re celebrating Canada’s 150th birthday! Grab your rod and reel, your tackle box and your lucky fishing hat, hang that “Gone fishin'” sign on your front door and get out there and get fishin’!

And PS – make sure everyone in the boat puts on his life-jacket!
