The province has launched online public engagement to seek input for changes to Manitoba’s Angling regulations. Manitoba’s Recreational Angling Strategy outlines proposed changes to the regulation and management of recreational angling. Proposed changes in the strategy include modernizing angling licenses, changing angling seasons, possession limits and size restrictions to ensure protection of fish populations, implementing a future ban on the harvest and use of aquatic live bait including bait fish and leaches to reduce the risk of spreading aquatic invasive species, instituting minor changes to ice fishing regulations including contact information displayed on permanent ice fishing shelters and removal dates and updating enforcement of fisheries offences.
Implementation of Manitoba’s Recreational Angling Strategy is proposed to take effect on April 1st, 2023
