B.C.’s Family Fishing Weekend Reels in Big Fun
This Father’s Day weekend, British Columbia’s lakes and streams will play host to free events aimed at getting families hooked on fishing.
On Saturday, June 14 the Spruce City Wildlife Association hosted an event at Ferguson Lake (Prince George) to celebrate BC’s Free Family Fishing Weekend and to officially open the new 50 foot fishing dock that was recently finished.
Despite the rain, approximately 150 people attended the event. Attendees participated in a fish release, tried their hand at fishing and had the opportunity to win great prizes like a new fishing rod!
Visit the Angler’s Atlas website to view photos from the event.
The Spruce City Wildlife Association is the lead organization that has brought this dock to Ferguson Lake. Many partners have helped the club with this project, including The City of Prince George, Nature Trust of BC, Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC, Habitat Trust Conservation Fund and Fraser Basin Council.
