Sask Free Fishing Weekend, Jul 12-13

Gerry Lampow
By Gerry Lampow

The fishing just got real as Saskatchewan is opening its waters for you to cast a line without a licence this weekend, July 12-13.

Anglers and first-timers can fish on public waters open to sport fishing. However, the event does not apply within national parks; a valid licence is required to take fish out of the province, and all other fishing regulations, including possession limits, remain in effect.

The Free Fishing Weekend began in 1989 to increase public awareness about the diverse angling opportunities in the province. A winter Free Fishing Weekend was added in 2015.

More information is available online.

Gerry has lived in Lloydminster since winter 2010. That detail is important as coming from the Caribbean he did not see green grass until May. Now an Alberta/Western Canada resident, you would be hard-pressed to find a stronger proponent of Lloydminster than the news guy that appreciates a healthy dose of rock music and dress code leather. His mantra is focus on one thing and do it well.
