Fishing 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.
