If you like ice fishing, you’re in for a treat this weekend.

 

The Province has brought back their free fishing weekend, which will run from Saturday until Monday.

 

What that means for you is that you don’t need a fishing licence to get in on the angling action.

 

You do, however, have to follow all other fishing regulations including conservation limits.

 

A federal fishing licence is still required if you want to cast your line in a National Park.

 

Manitoba Sustainable Development reminds all anglers to make sure that the conditions are safe before heading out on the ice, and to always let someone know where you are fishing.

 

Regular vehicle permits aren’t needed to enter Provincial Parks in February, though SnoPasses are required if you want to use groomed trails.

 

More information on the weekend can be found here on the Government of Manitoba website.
