Why is fishing a popular hobby in Canada?
Fishing in Canada is so popular because many of the thousands of lakes, rivers and streams are still in pristine condition. A large variety of fish are available and finding large numbers inhabiting local waters is still possible. The hobby is relatively inexpensive and can still be done with a homemade pole and line. Children still do not require a license in most provinces and those who are required to purchase one will still find them at a low cost.
