found this link printed in the new regs and decided to check it out

 

interesting info if you have the time, such as

 

# of fisherman, male /female resident/nonresident

money spent on tackle, boats,lodging etc...

species caught, % released etc...

and more

 

if your bored and have time on your hands, it makes an interesting read

 

ps. i didnt read the WHOLE thing, it's kinda long

 

 

 

 

 

btw, i've never taken such a survey in my 28 yrs of fishing and never heard of anybody who has

Interesting for sure....

Not sure I could make any deductions from it other then the number of anglers is decreaseing significantly year on year = more fish fer me!

And Trout were officialy made the number 2 catch second to walleye for the first time ever.

 

That and we in Ontario Keep 22.2% of what we catch.

 

You could wrap your mind around these statistics for weeks LOL...if your bored and inclinded to crunch numbers for fun like me LOL!
