National Fishing Week is underway and it is an annual event designed to encourage Canadians to experience the benefits of recreational fishing.

Fishing is an easy and fun way to connect with nature, your family and others and enjoy the thousands of lakes and streams across the country including an abundance here in Northern Manitoba. You don’t have to necessarily even  have a boat  as you can fish from a dock, or right off land.

Fishing is also very affordable for you and the entire family and is supported by federal, provincial and territorial governments,  as well as hundreds of organizations and businesses  that work hard to ensure sustainable fishing opportunities while safeguarding fish populations everywhere.
