SASKATCHEWAN'S FAMILY FISHING WEEKEND JUNE 8 AND 9

Released on May 31, 1996

Saskatchewan Environment and Resource Management (SERM) Minister Lorne
Scott today announced that June 8 and 9 will be Family Fishing Weekend
in Saskatchewan.

Scott said that on these days Saskatchewan residents and visitors may
fish without a licence. National parks still require their own fishing
licence. All other fishing regulations will remain in effect.

"This is a good time to introduce a friend or family member to one of
our most popular outdoor leisure activities, recreational fishing,"
Scott said.

Scott said Family Fishing Weekend is a program aimed at promoting
recreational fishing. Developed in 1989, it's designed for people to
experience the fun of recreational fishing with friends and family,
while teaching young people about the province's water resources.

As in the past, special events have been organized throughout the
province. Many community and school groups, fishing clubs, and
conservation agencies have fishing-related activities planned this
weekend.

For example, the Cypress Hills Trout Festival in Cypress Hills
Interprovincial Park will offer fly-casting workshops conducted by
internationally known fly-fisherman Dave Whitlock, along with many
other fishing-related activities and displays throughout the weekend.

At Wynyard Regional Park, activities are planned for June 9 to
celebrate the successful operation of the lake aeration system
installed last fall by SERM's Fish Enhancement Program.

"Saskatchewan is a great place to fish and we want to emphasize to
everyone the importance of this resource," Scott said. "The more
people become aware of the fish resource and its value, the more they
will protect and preserve the quality of our lakes and streams."
