Nova Scotia’s winter sport fishing season has kicked off and anglers will have more to choose from this year. They’re allowed to fish for brook, brown or rainbow trout, white or yellow perch and chain pickerel. Fishermen can catch and bag two trout per day but as many as 25 perch and chain pickerel are allowed. A 2014 general fishing licence is needed and they cost about 27-dollars at Department of Natural Resources outlets. Sport fishing in Nova Scotia is a 56-million dollar recreational industry. Check DNR’s website for more details.
