Fish without a licence:
Four times a year, Canadian residents can fish in Ontario without buying a fishing licence, during:
- Family Fishing Weekend in February (February 13-15, 2021)
- Mother’s Day Weekend in May (May 8-9, 2021)
- Father’s Day Weekend in June (June 19-20, 2021)

Follow fishing rules:
Licence-free periods remind us of the value of Ontario’s recreational fishery, and the importance of keeping it healthy for future generations. You must:
- follow conservation licence catch limits
- obey size limits and sanctuaries
- follow the fishing regulations
