The Manitoba government recently announced a weekend of free fishing from February 18th to February 20th.
Natural Resources and Northern Development Minister Greg Nesbitt made the announcement on Monday.
“Everyone can enjoy ice fishing for free this weekend without requiring an angling licence. There’s no better way to spend a winter day in Manitoba than ice fishing with family and friends, while also enjoying free admission to provincial parks during the month of February.”
Anglers will be able to carry the standard amount of catches that are provided by a license. this would mean no more than four walleye, four northern pike, two smallmouth bass, one lake trout, one channel catfish, and two stocked trout.
This weekend of free fishing will exclude any provincial parks. all other angling restrictions will be in effect including regulations on individual waters.
