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.

Famous quotes containing the word fishing:
“The hill farmer ... always seems to make out somehow with his corn patch, his few vegetables, his rifle, and fishing rod. This self-contained economy creates in the hillman a comparative disinterest in the world’s affairs, along with a disdain of lowland ways. “I don’t go to question the good Lord in his wisdom,” runs the phrasing attributed to a typical mountaineer, “but I jest cain’t see why He put valleys in between the hills.””
—Administration in the State of Arka, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“If fishing is a religion, fly fishing is high church.”
—Tom Brokaw (b. 1940)
“Once fishing was a rabbit’s foot—
O wind blow cold, O wind blow hot,”
—Robert Lowell (1917–1977)
