Canadian residents will again be able to sample Ontario's fishing opportunities,
licence-free, during the weekends of July 10-12, 2009 and February 13-15, 2010.

Sponsored by a diverse range of government and non-government organizations, the
Weekends are designed to remind people of the recreational and economic value of
Ontario's recreational fishery, and the importance of sustaining and enhancing
it for future generations. For this reason, anglers without a licence must abide
by the limits set for the Conservation Licence during the weekend. All other
fees and regulations apply and will be enforced, including size limits and
sanctuaries.



Local events and festivals around the province will mark the Weekends. Family
Fishing Weekends provide not only opportunities to fish, but also to learn about
proper techniques, ethical angling and how to protect fish and their habitat.


Licenced anglers and club members: The Weekends are for you, too. Take an
unlicensed friend out fishing, or attend an event with your kids. As a group,
consider organizing a Weekend event. Put on a clinic, an educational children's
event or use the Weekend to involve the public in an enhancement project.
Information to help you plan and run events is available from the following
partners:

For people taking advantage of this "OFFER" and try fishing for the first time, is it safe to assume they know nothing about what the limits are?
