Dust off the fishing gear...free fishing weekend is almost here!

Saskatchewan’s Free Fishing Weekend is July 13 and 14.

Saskatchewan’s annual summer free fishing weekend is just around the corner.  On July 13 and 14, residents and visitors to the province are welcome to fish in any of Saskatchewan’s public waters open to sport fishing without purchasing a fishing licence.

​“Free fishing weekend is a great opportunity for families and visitors to make summer memories at one of our province’s many lakes,” Environment Minister Dustin Duncan said.  “And Saskatchewan offers some of the best freshwater fishing in the world.”

Anyone planning to take part in free fishing weekend should note that all other fishing regulations, including possession limits, gear restrictions and size limits on some lakes and rivers, remain in effect.

Free fishing weekend does not apply in national parks and anyone planning on taking fish out of the province must purchase a licence.
