As a solitary escape, with friends, or as a family outing, fishing is enjoyed by more than a million residents and visitors to Ontario. The province's 250,000 lakes and innumerable rivers and streams offer unbeatable fishing opportunities, and the variety of species available is second to none. Fishing is good for the economy too - recreational fishing in Ontario generates more than $2.4 billion dollars annually.

Since 1928, the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters (OFAH) has been working with OFAH zones, member clubs and other partners to improve, maintain and enhance our fisheries and fishing opportunities. Species restoration, habitat enhancement and education and outreach are just some of the ways the OFAH is making a difference.
