Go fishing on Father’s Day

Father’s Day is June 15. Fishing with your father is a great way to celebrate the day.

You can fish for free during B.C. Family Fishing Weekend from June 13-15.

Canadians who have lived here for a year or more can fish without a licence. Both freshwater and saltwater fishing are free.
