Fishing
Lake whitefish is one of the most important species for commercial inland fisheries in North America. The total annual catch from Canada and USA reported by FAO is some 12,000 tonnes.
Many amateur anglers also enjoy hooking this fish in the months of June, July and early August. A simple line and jig system is enough to catch the fish as they feast on mayflies and midges. Commercial fishing has allowed for the spread of this fish into many different markets, restaurants, and grocery store shelves.
