This new data collection effort will consist of two surveys. Part one is a field survey to gather information about effort, catch, and participation information. Anglers interviewed in the field will be asked to participate in part two of the survey. Approximately 5,000 of the anglers interviewed in the field will be asked to participate in part two of the survey. Part two will ask about a wide range of fishing related activities including target species, catch and release fishing, and preferences for different conservation management actions.
