Twice a year here in Nova Scotia you are allowed to hit the lakes and fish for free. Normally you would need a fishing license.
You still have to play by the rules which can be found HERE.
But otherwise, THIS IS THE WEEKEND known as Free Sportfishing Weekend so take advantage of this great weather, grab your rod and hit the lakes.
Be safe around the water, especially with the littles. Have fun and a wish of tight lines to you.
