Canada is one of the world's great sport fishing countries and carefully controlled programs of research and preservation are regularly carried out in many parts of the country to maintain her reputation as an angler's paradise. Restocking lakes by aerial planting of yearlings has proved very successful in recent years; many hitherto inaccessible lakes may now be reached by aircraft.

At White Lake rearing ponds a truck is loaded with its precious cargo. Every year the success of such re-stocking measures pays off in the ever-increasing numbers of sportsmen who are attracted to Canada's lakes and streams. A study of the effects of overcrowding has led to the removal of the size limit on pickerel and bass although the 7" limitation on trout remains in most parts of the country.
