Fishing usually requires some planning, with the first step the purchase of a fishing licence.  Ontario Family Fishing Week is an effort to make it easy to be spontaneous and try out this hobby for the first time. . or the first time in a long time!  One local event that takes advantage of this freedom from red tape is at Camp Samac in Oshawa on July 15.  Their Catch and Release Fishing Derby is a fundraising event to help support activities for youth at Camp Samac and you don’t even need fishing gear because it’s available for loan, how easy is that!

Unless there are too many balmy winter days, Lake Simcoe is usually a beehive of fish huts, snowmobiles and fishermen. So great is the enthusiasm that many fishing hut operators maintain heated huts and furnish transportation, food, bait, tackle and other facilities to the angling public. Catches of fish vary during the winter but it seldom happens that any group is frozen out - according to Fish in Ontario, lake trout, whitefish, panfish, pike, walleye, ling are the most common species taken.

You could be hooked, but I guess that’s the idea behind Ontario Family Fishing Week!  Anyway it’s a chance to go fishing without a licence anywhere that fishing is normally allowed.  As part of it, Darlington Provincial Park is hosting Family Fishing Day on July 9th for some catch and release licence-free fishing in Picnic Area #4 by McLaughlin Bay. Some Tackleshare rods and reels will be available for loan, as well as worms for the fish and free hotdogs and drinks for the kids.
