Residents can fish for free in Ontario four times a year, and Father’s Day weekend, June 15-16, is one of those special occasions.
No fishing license is required, but anglers must follow all regulations, including conservation catch limits, obeying size limits and sanctuaries.
They also need to follow fishing regulations and carrying a permit/ID card issued by the provincial or federal government, which shows name and date of birth.
The next free fishing period includes Family Fishing Week June 29 to July 7.
