National Fishing Week is not only a way to encourage people to try fishing, but to celebrate our country’s history with the pastime.

Chris Ferguson with the Fishin’ Hole in Winnipeg has details on where you can find the fishing regulations for the province.

"You can pick up copies of the Manitoba Fishing Guide at most outdoor stores.

You can also find it on the Government of Manitoba website.

There is also a Manitoba Master Anglers site and an app you can download on your phone, and all of those will have the Manitoba fishing regulations on them."

National Fishing Week has been celebrated for over 20 years and the dates for this year’s event are June 28th to July 6th.

With over 1 million lakes, rivers and streams, plus three oceans, Canada boasts one of the most diverse natural environments on the planet.
