REGINA — Gone fishing conjures up images of rest, relaxation and fun at Saskatchewan lakes.
Saskatchewan's summer Free Fishing Weekend is back on July 13-14, and it's the perfect time for Saskatchewan residents and visitors alike to drop a line and give angling a try, no licence required.
During the weekend, anglers can fish without a licence on any public waters open to sport fishing. Important things to remember: Free Fishing Weekend does not apply in national parks, anyone planning on taking fish out of the province must purchase a licence and all other fishing regulations, including limits, still apply.

Free Fishing Weekend began in the summer of 1989 to increase public awareness about the diverse angling opportunities in the province. A winter Free Fishing Weekend was added in 2015. More than 250,000 people sport fish in Saskatchewan each year.
