sidney_pier.jpgDuring BC's Family Fishing Weekend (Friday 13th, Saturday 14th and Sunday 15th of June 2008) there are many free-to-attend special Community Fishing Events taking place around British Columbia. These events offer an opportunity to learn how to fish and provide lots of useful educational information in a fun and supervised environment. There are knowledgeable volunteers present to show you the tricks of the trade and help you on your way to catching your first lunker!
