Manitobans who want to try their hand at ice fishing can do so for free this coming weekend.
The Manitoba government says anglers will be allowed to fish without a licence Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
“Everyone can enjoy ice fishing for free this weekend without requiring an angling licence,” Natural Resources and Northern Development Minister Greg Nesbitt said in a release.
“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.”
