If you have ever considered taking up ice fishing, this weekend would be a great time to do it.
The province has announced that this weekend will be Winter Family Fishing Weekend, which means you can fish on Manitoba lakes this Saturday to Monday without needing a license.
Anglers must also still follow all possession limits and size restrictions, including regulations for specific individual waters.
Those provincial angling regulations can be found online through the Manitoba Anglers Guide.
The lone exception is in national parks like Riding Mountain, where a federal angling license is required.
The free Winter Family Fishing Weekend coincides with free entry to provincial parks that the government is offering throughout the month of February.
