The Ministry of Environment is reminding anglers to know and stay within their limit as Free Fishing Weekend in Saskatchewan approaches.
The province says there are daily limits for the maximum amount of fish, along with limits for the size of fish that can be caught and kept. Certain waterbodies may also have their own set of regulations based on that particular location for certain fish species.
"Saskatchewan is renowned by residents and visitors alike for our beautiful waters and world-class fishing opportunities," Environment Minister Dana Skoropad said. "By staying within the set limits, anglers directly contribute to the province's efforts to keep our fish populations healthy and abundant for years to come."
The province says the best way to know the limits is to check the Saskatchewan Anglers Guide.
Any fish caught above the daily limit must be immediately released back into the water in a manner that causes the least harm to the fish, the province said.
Free Fishing Weekend is this weekend, July 8-9. Saskatchewan residents and visitors can fish for free without a license. All limits still apply.
