In effect, more and more people are taking to this pastime and this is borne out by the fact that the steady increase in the number of people queuing up to obtain fishing licenses every year, has touched nearly 12 million.

In addition, according to surveys conducted, for every $1 that is expended on a fishing license, $16 is paid out for gear like fishing tackle, clothing, food, and conveyance.
