What does flying have to do with boating and fishing? Lots. Aerial fish spotting helps commercial and recreational fishermen find most of the fish that people eat. These fish spotters even help whale-watching boats find whales. Then there’s aerial surveying and charting, search and rescue, emergency medevac, anti-poaching and law enforcement, and pollution prevention and control flights. Also, mariners and pilots rely on the same weather reporting and forecasting resources.

If you’d rather fish in America’s lakes, there’s the seasonal aerial restocking of ponds that puts fish in the lakes. And fishermen often fly on floatplanes to get to these remote locations for fishing trips.
