MARKET BACKGROUND

MARKET SIZE and GROWTH

The Canadian recreational fishing market is huge even though the market is decreasing. As of 2005, there were over 3.2 million anglers actively fishing in Canada. This statistic has steadily declined by an average of 2% over the past 10 years. The year 2000 saw an average of 3.6 million anglers compared to 1995, when there were around 4.2 million active anglers in Canada. This declining trend is also reflected in the provincial statistics.
