HISTORY:
Containing hundreds of pristine fishing locations, ranging from rivers, lakes and oceans, Canada has always attracted fishermen. The Natives and first European settler's used fishing as an important staple. Native tribes along lake Superior were known to be progressive fishers, suing handcrafted nets made of knotted willow bark strange and birch bark canoes to harvest fish. The fish they were seeking ranged from massive Sturgeon to lake trout and white fish.
In the mid 17th Century, the rich fishing resources of the Gulf of St. Laurence also attracted many European fishermen. From 1766 to the late 19th Century, Anglo-French Merchants maintained a monopoly on Cod Fishing. These abundant fishing grounds soon gained worldwide prestige for the bountiful harvests they produced. Fishing for commercial purposes started in the early 19th Century, around the same time fishing equipment and techniques began to advance.
Canada is an ideal fishing destination for weathered anglers and those newcomers who have never picked up a rod. With hundreds of thousands of lakes that are world-renowned for their variety and plentiful nature, you are bound to have immediate success. Canada has become a premier destination for world class fishing, and Canadian lakes are famous for northern pike, trout, bass and trophy wallet fishing. Canada's fresh and salt waters attract fly fishing, bass fishing and ice fishing enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels
