Ontario Family Fishing Weekend Links & Contacts

National Fishing Week

For the seventh year, the Ontario Family Fishing Weekend is joining forces with National Fishing Week. NFW will take place July 5-13, 2008, and provides an enhanced awareness of recreational fishing, nation-wide, in-store promotions, and fishing-related events. The OFFW will "top off" the Week in Ontario with licence-free fishing for Canadian residents. Licences are required during the rest of the NFW. For more information on National Fishing Week, visit their website at www.catchfishing.com.

NOTE: National Family Week is NOT a license-free fishing event.
