Free family fishing weekend from February 18 to February 20, 2023, which means Manitobans can fish without a licence across most of the province. A federal angling licence is still required in national parks.
“There’s no better way to spend a winter day in Manitoba than ice fishing with family and friends, while also enjoying free admission to provincial parks during the month of February,” said Natural Resources and Northern Development Minister Greg Nesbitt.
Anglers may retain up to a conservation licence limit of fish, which includes four walleye/sauger, four northern pike, two smallmouth bass, one lake trout, one channel catfish and two stocked trout. Regular limits apply for those who already have a regular angling licence and all other angling regulations apply during this weekend.
