Sport Fishing in Nova Scotia
Anglers the world over can experience a wide variety of fishing in Nova Scotia. Stream, lake, ocean and surf fishing is enjoyed as well as deep sea fishing from a chartered boat. Licenses can be purchased at most sport fishing outlets and Access Nova Scotia locations.To replenish the populations a vigorous stocking program is carried out twice a year with such species as Rainbow, Speckled and Trout Brown as well as landlocked salmon. The waters are stocked with fingerlings in the fall.
The biggest threat to the trout populations in Nova Scotia has been the illegal introduction of Chain Pickerel to the water systems. Pickerel are notorious “water wolves” and eat an appalling amount of trout, from fingerlings to adults. Some anglers, however, like the feisty fighter which also is a big hit in their fry pans.
There are many streams and lakes close to White Point Beach Resort and White Point Manor. As well, mackerel runs are popular and fun to fish. No licenses are required for this saltwater fishing as it is under Federal government jurisdiction but in Nova Scotia provincial areas – fresh water -all persons over the age of 16 must have a license for fishing.
Fishing is a nice sport and it is a good past time too. I enjoy fishing specially during weekends.-*:
