Events

Take your fishing up a notch and enter a fishing derby for the challenge of the competition and, maybe, win an awesome prize.  Derbies are held over the course of the year and many last several days with non-fishing events such as fish fries, live entertainment and children’s activities. Take a look at the list below to choose a derby – good luck!
 
If you’d like to get the family into fishing, there are four licence-free events each year to try it out – in February, it’s Family Fishing Weekend, in May, Mother's Day Fishing Weekend, in June, Father's Day Fishing Weekend, and, in July, Family Fishing Week (for Canadian residents only).
