Show Questionnaire mailed to 10,000 persons A fish harvest questionnaire has been mailed out to ten thousand persons who purchased purchas-ed a fishing or commbination license last year by the Division Divis-ion of Fish and Game in an effort to gain more information on fishing pressure and the number of fish caught in Utah. This is the first effort by the fish and game to gather this type of data by sending out a questionnaire so everyone every-one who received one of these cards is asked to please fill it out completely and drop it in the mail box. The Division of Fish and Game is seeking information on the type of license purchased, purchas-ed, the number of fishing trips taken in 1967, whether fishing was done on reserevoirs or streams, and the number of warm water and cold water fish taken. The questionnaire is short and should only take a couple of minutes to complete. Data provided by the persons who respond will help determine deter-mine how much fishing pressure pres-sure there is on Utah waters, whether this pressure is mainly on reserevoirs or streams, and if a good percentage of the fish stocked by the fish and game is hravested by Utah anglers. Harv est questionnaires of this type have been used for several years to aid in determining de-termining harvest of big game animals and game birds and it is hoped it will be as successful success-ful in aiding in the management manage-ment of the fisheries in Utah. |
