NS RECREATIONAL FISHING AREAS

NOVA SCOTIANS LOVE TO FISH

To allow management on a regional basis, the province is divided into six Recreational Fishing Areas (RFAs). Each RFA has a Recreational Fisheries Advisory Council that is open to the public and consists of anglers and volunteer sportfishing organizations with participation from other government agencies. The Inland Fisheries Division meets annually in each RFA to present research and discuss and develop regulations, enhancement opportunities and other sportfishing initiatives.

Nova Scotians love to fish. Angling is our most popular outdoor recreational activity. To help sustain this valuable sport, the Provincial Dept. of Fisheries & Aquaculture operates three fish hatcheries; Fraser’s Mills Hatchery, Antigonish County, Margaree Fish Hatchery, Inverness County and McGowan Lake Hatchery, Queens County.

Atlantic salmon, Brown trout, Rainbow trout and Speckled trout are raised and distributed throughout the year. Much of this stocking activity takes place in the fall. Juvenile fish (8-12 cm long), known as fingerlings are placed in lakes and streams with suitable habitat, where they may grow to maturity. Catchable size Rainbow trout are stocked at this time of yearin lakes with year-round or winter seasons.

Thousands of Nova Scotians cherish the opportunity to spend time outdoors on or near the water. This list of stocked lakes should help.
