AbstractFishing is popular throughout Canada, but in the more remote
parts of the country it is a major part of the local economy. Frequency
of participation in recreational fishing has a strong relationship to the distribution
of population, but the northern areas for which there is data also have a substantial
amount of fishing activity. This map shows the participation in fishing shown by major watershed
areas. The advantage of using these areas is that indicates usage
by river systems, and, as well, it differentiates the northern from
southern parts of the larger provinces. The pattern shows a strong
relationship to the distribution of population, but the northern
areas for which there is data also have a substantial amount of
fishing activity.
