C. Results 1. Totals Over the past five years we have averaged 385 hours a year on the water. We average about 12 total fish per hour and 3 bass per hour. These results are for two men fishing per hour. A summary of this data is attached in Table 1 Summary and comparison of Yearly Fishing results.
All types sunfish.
The average is similar to our individual yearly results shown below in Table 3. Our sunfish total is up since we started to use a fly rod more when the Willow flies are out. Decreasing Bass catch. I do know my data is taken from many areas that we fish every year using similar methods and 1999 was our poorest year to date. In 1997 I wrote to Tennessee Valley Outdoors and also discussed with Mr. Simms the large amount of smallmouth bass we were catching in Chickamauga lake.
