National Fishing Week starts tomorrow!
Fishing week runs from July 5th until July 13th. It’s a time for Canadians to show their love for a national past time. Mike Melnik, National Fishing Week spokesperson, says fishing helps with two main things.
"Well, two things. I think it's great for people to connect with family instead of being in front of a television or in front of a computer screen. And it's also just a really good mental health activity to relax and forget about your troubles for a while."
During the week Manitobans are encouraged to spend time on the many lakes fishing with their families. You will need a licence during this week, and need to follow all other provincial rules. For a refresher of the rules visit catchfishing.ca
