Great Ice Conditions Lure Families Outside for Winter Fishing
Three days of licence-free fishing during the Family Day long weekend
(firmenpresse) - PETERBOROUGH, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 02/08/13 -- Recent cold temperatures have been building up ice and excitement for Ontario Family Fishing Events (OFFE), February 16-18, 2013, when Canadian residents can fish Ontario public waters licence-free.
Where ice conditions permit safe fishing opportunities, community groups and other organizations will be offering events that provide fishing instruction for children and their families. OFFE will be taking place province wide from February 16 through February 18, (12:01 a.m. Saturday to 11:59 p.m. Monday) which includes the provincial Family Day holiday.
"Ice fishing is a great Canadian winter pastime and a very family-friendly activity," said Angelo Lombardo, Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) Executive Director. "If you've never tried ice fishing, this is the perfect time to head out with the family or join one of the many events across the province designed specifically for newcomers to the sport."
One event in particular, OFAH Family Ice Fishing Day, is expected to draw more than 1,200 participants to Chemong Lake in Bridgenorth and Ennismore on February 16 from 10 am to 2 pm. This free event has everything that beginners need to get involved: free instruction and bait; fishing gear available for loan; all holes predrilled; and prizes for youth participants.
