National Fishing Week

For the ninth year, the Ontario Family Fishing Weekend is joining forces with National Fishing Week. NFW will take place TBA, 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.
