April 1st marks the start of the sportfishing season in Nova Scotia.
The province is reminding those who plan to try their luck on the over 400 rivers and lakes in Nova Scotia to respect bag limits and other regulations.
A Nova Scotia sportfishing licence, available online, is valid for all freshwater species except for Atlantic Salmon.
According to government statistics sportfishing in Nova Scotia pumps $85 million into the province’s economy yearly.
“Sportfishing is a fun activity and a great way to get outside for some solitude or time with family and friends,” said Steve Craig, Minister of Fisheries and Aquaculture.
There are 21 barrier-free sites across the province. Locations include different supports, such as accessible parking, flat fishing pads, benches or railings.
