There are so many threats to freshwater fisheries in the United States and Canada, and how anglers perceive these threats is important for conservation, management, policy, grassroots movement, industry engagement, etc.
With that, the Danylchuk lab is conducting a MASSIVE ANGLER SURVEY to get a sense of what they are seeing on their home waters, as well as what they feel are solutions for making their fishing experience better. The survey has an option for anglers and guides.
Evan Prasky (copied) is the PhD student leading the survey and has created a novel backend method that will allow us to examine regional differences, differences by target species, gear types, and more.
This is a HUGE and IMPORTANT endeavor….and…….
WE NEED YOUR HELP SHARING THE SURVEY
WHEN: Official launch date Monday, July 28, 2025, and the survey closes Monday, November 24, 2025, at midnight EST.
HOW: Use social media, websites, word of mouth, etc. We need to encourage as many freshwater anglers in the US and Canada as possible to take this survey. It doesn’t matter what gear type, species, or habitat they fish in – they all matter!
Thanks for taking the time to help gather data to protect our fisheries!
