Found this interesting… read it today. We’re spending a lot of money chasing little fishes around. Each year, more than a million anglers take to New York’s waters in the hopes of catching one or more of the state’s wide diversity of fish species. Trout, salmon, largemouth and smallmouth bass, pike, walleye, muskellunge, catfish, panfish, striped bass, bluefish, scup, black seabass, flounders and weakfish are just a few of the fish species found here.
Freshwater anglers annually take about 21 million fishing trips and spend $1.5 billion pursuing this sport. Saltwater anglers annually take about four million trips and spend more than one billion dollars.
