License Free Fishing week is back in Toronto this weekend from July 7 to 15, 2012. Unlike the other days where you have to buy a license to go fishing, this is one week where you won’t need a license to fish. To take advantage of this special week, Toronto is hosting an Urban Fishing Festival catered to fishing for kids. So, grab the kids and the fishing rods and head out for an afternoon of free fishing.
