Trout Fishing in the U.S: Addendum to the 1996 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife-Associated Recreation

摘要

This report has five sections. The first section deals with the extent of participation in trout fishing. It presents the number of trout anglers and fishing days for the nation and by state. The second section discusses the demographic characteristics of trout anglers and compares them to other freshwater anglers and the overall U.S. population. The third section considers changes in trout fishing participation through time by comparing results for the 1991 and 1996 surveys. The fourth section develops a statistical model of trout fishing participation which predicts whether or not a freshwater angler will fish for trout or not, based on the person's demographic characteristics and residency. The final section summarizes the report.
