largemouth bass proportion of 8% is second highest and the 33% for panfish is the third highest rate forall zones in Ontario. Please refer to figure 2 to view the species composition for all fish that wereharvested. According to the 2005 survey, anglers most desired catches in order are walleye, smallmouth bass and largemouth bass. As a result, one can safely assume that these three species in additionto panfish are the most influential species on the fishing economy in zone 15.walleye2%northern pike33%5% 7%10%yellow perchsmall-mouth bass12%27%large-mouth bassbrook trout2%2%lake troutpanfishotherFigure 1: Species compositions of fish caught in zone 15 in 20056

In 2005, over 231.5 million dollarswere spent in zone 15. From the 231.5 million, 81.8 million dollars were spent on consumable goods andservices, which is the third highest of all zones. Consumable goods are composed of meals, lodging andlicense fees to name a few examples. For Ontario residents to fish legally, they must purchase anoutdoors card which costs $9.68 along with a one year fishing license tag which can cost either $15.90 or$27.76 depending on the chosen license (Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources, 2012). An additional4.9 million dollars were spent on package angling deals which sits at eighth in the province. Theremainder of the money spent in zone 15 on the angling industry is on investment goods. 144.8 milliondollars were spent in 2005 on goods that can either be wholly or partially attributable to fishing whichranks as the third highest of all zones. From the 144.8 million dollars, 75.4 million were invested ongoods such as boats and docks that are 100% attributable to recreational fishing which is also the thirdhighest amount in Ontario.When reviewing the monetary values in this report it is very important to note that it is7
