Hook, line and sinker: Saskatchewan to hold free fishing weekend

Anglers in Saskatchewan soon can try their luck for free.

The provincial government announced Monday the annual summer free fishing weekend is set for July 8-9, when people can fish on all of Saskatchewan’s public waters without a licence.

Limits and all other fishing regulations are in effect. Anglers who want to take fish out of Saskatchewan must purchase a licence.

Free fishing weekend doesn’t apply in the province’s national parks.

More information about fishing in Saskatchewan can be found in the Saskatchewan Anglers Guide on the government’s website.
