COLUMBUS, OH - The Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) Division of Wildlife invites anglers to visit www.ohiodnr.com/creel to take a new online angler survey.
The online survey consists of 19 questions asking anglers to provide feedback on a variety of topics, including where they fish and the methods they use; what species they fish for; effects the economy is having on fishing habits; and length and rod limit regulations. Anglers will also be given the opportunity to provide general comments about fishing in Ohio.
The online survey will be available beginning May 15 and will run through September 30, 2009. Responses to the survey are confidential. Information provided by anglers through the surveys is vital to the successful management of Ohio's fisheries and the Division encourages all anglers to participate.
Fisheries biologists use angler survey data in combination with biological data from fish populations to identify ways of improving fishing on Ohio's inland reservoirs, lakes, rivers and Lake Erie.
The Ohio Department of Natural Resources ensures a balance between wise use and protection of our natural resources for the benefit of all. Visit the ODNR web site at www.ohiodnr.com.
