Hello Overnightcopy,
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service 2001 National Survey of Fishing,
Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation provides a wealth of
information on the subject of fishing.
?It provides information on the number of participants in fishing,
hunting, and wildlife watching (observing, photographing, and feeding
wildlife), and the amount of time and money spent on these activities.
The Survey is one of the Nation's most important wildlife recreation
databases and is conducted about every five years
SURVEY CONTENT
- Number of persons and days of participation by animal sought.
- Number of anglers, hunters, and wildlife-watching participants, by
type of activity.
- Trips and days spent on different types of activities.
- Expenditures (trip, equipment, etc.), by type of fishing and hunting
and wildlife-watching activity.
- Demographic characteristics of participants (including age, income,
sex, race, and education).
