This upcoming weekend, Saskatchewan residents will have an opportunity to throw a hook in the water for free to celebrate Family Day weekend.

Ice fishing will be free and require no license for Feb 17-19. All public waters, with the exception of national parks, will be free to fish on however normal limits and regulations still apply.

And we're being reminded to be careful on the frozen ice.  Depending on the make up of the water body, there can be thin or weak spots even when it's this cold.
