Show Questionaires To Provide Info For Fishing Data A fish harvest questionnaire .' has been mailed out to ten , thousand persons who pur-..; pur-..; chased a fishing or combination combina-tion license last year by the Division of Fish and Game ' In an effort to gain more information in-formation 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 i it in the mail box, The Division of Fish and Game is seeking information ; on the type of license pur-, pur-, chased, the number of fishing fish-ing trips taken in 1967, whether wheth-er fishing was done on reservoirs reser-voirs or streams, arid the number num-ber 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 per-sons who respond will help '' determine how much fishing ! pressure there is on Utah waters, wa-ters, whether this pressure is mainly on reservoirs or j Streams, and if a good per- centage of the fish stocked ' by the fish and game is har-' har-' vested by Utah anglers. Harvest questionnaires of ! this type have been used for ( several years to aid in deter - I ! mining harvest of big game j animals and game birds and ' it is hoped it will be as suc- cessful in aiding the manage- ment of the fisheries in Utah. |
