Try ice fishing – Free Family Fishing Weekend

Try ice fishing
Whether you’re looking for a new hobby or a fun family outing, ice fishing is a great way to enjoy Ontario’s winter climate. Ice fishing often brings people together as you can enjoy the sport with your friends and family, or you can meet new people on the ice – it’s a great way to socialize and share the experience. By spending time outdoors, you can reduce stress and improve your overall well-being by clearing your mind and enjoying some tranquility.

Ontario offers a free family fishing weekend from February 15 to 17, 2025, which is a perfect opportunity to get started. Free fishing opportunities in Ontario were introduced to encourage new anglers to participate in fishing. These events are perfect for individuals or families who are curious about fishing but haven’t tried it before. They allow people to experience fishing firsthand without any financial commitment.
