Although there is little commercial fishing in Pennsylvania—the 1998 catch of 338,000 lb was worth only $53,000—the state's many lakes and streams make it a popular area for sport fishing. All recreational fishing in the state is supervised by the Fish Commission, established in 1866 and one of the oldest conservation agencies in the US. Walleye, trout, and salmon were the leading species. In 1998, Pennsylvania issued 1,089,693 sport fishing licenses.
