Fish on! A quick reminder to everyone across the land that National Fishing Week kicks off this Saturday, running through to July 11. Coinciding with this great Canada-wide celebration of angling are family fishing weekends in every province and territory, complete with special events and other incentives to encourage folks to try their hand at wetting a line.

In Ontario, for example, the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters has more than 120 locations across the province for anglers to borrow rods, reels and lure through its TackleShare program. Several provinces are also offering licence-free fishing days.

If you know of people interested in taking up the sport, National Fishing Week is the time to get them out on the water-especially if they’re youngsters. The event is coordinated by the Canadian Sportfishing Industry Association.
