The lakes and brooks in eastern Nova Scotia are plentiful with speckled or brook trout, if salmon fishing is not your style, and there is also excellent sea-run brown trout and rainbow trout fishing as well.

Of course, the fishing is only available during the open season and salmon fishing is limited to catch-and-release using barbless hook fly-fishing only. Excellent fishing can be enjoyed right until the end of October when the seasons close until the springtime.

Mackerel, Cod, Hake, Pollack, Catfish, Blue - Mako - or Porbeagel Shark are some of the deep sea fishing that occurs in Nova Scotia. Sadly Tuna fishing is only permitted to commercial fishermen.
