The 2024 Saskatchewan Anglers Guide is now available online.  The guide provides information on  regulations and policies for recreational fishing in the province. It also includes a comprehensive listing of waterbodies with specific catch limits and special regulations as well as catch-and-release practices, preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species and information on how to measure your catch and properly package it for transport.

The new season opens May 5 in the southern management zone, May 15 in the central management zone and May 25 in the northern management zone.

If you need physical copies of the guide, it can be picked up at Ministry of Environment’s field offices with front counter service where angling licenses are sold. It is also available at most provincial park offices and select retail outlets in early May.

Environment Minister Christine Tell says, “Saskatchewan is lucky to be home to some of the best freshwater fishing in Canada.”

Anyone wanting to go fishing in Saskatchewan, who are aged 16 and older, need to purchase an angling license to fish in Saskatchewan. A free fishing license is available to Saskatchewan residents age 65 and older as well as veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces who were honourably discharged.
