CANCAST and OFAH

The Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) Under The Lock Fishing Derby will be at CANCAST, accepting and offering gently-used fishing equipment (rods and reels) and selling tickets for the upcoming annual event. The event is expected to run at the Peterborough Lift Lock from April 26-May 4, 2025. For more information, including early registration details, click here.

While the Peterborough show is back for its fourth year, event organizers Kyle and Leanne Carruthers hosted the Bowmanville Tackle Swap and Fishing Show for eight years before interest and growth prompted them to expand and rebrand.

General Admission is $20 while kids 12 and under are free to enter.
