How KidFish Makes a Difference

Inspiring the Next Generation of Anglers

We inspire the next generation of anglers by giving away 600 free rods and holding our derby on Free Family Fishing Weekend — making it easy for families to get kids on the ice and into the sport.

Our purpose

Bringing families together through fishing and giving back

What started as a small local gathering has grown into a family-friendly ice-fishing derby, raising more than $485,000 for children’s health charities.

Every winter, hundreds of families join us to laugh, learn, fish, and make a difference — together.

Our tradition

Manitoba’s most exciting family ice fishing event

Anglers of all ages and skill levels — individuals, groups, and families — come together each winter for a day of fishing, fun, and community spirit.
KidFish isn’t just a competition — it’s a celebration of the outdoors and the generosity of Manitobans.

From the early morning excitement to prize draws, games, and shared laughter, every moment brings people together for one purpose:
helping kids in need.
