Target #1: Increase angler opportunity and participation..
Total licenses sold in CY2022 were down from the prior year as was angler effort translating into another drop in this index. Sales of 1-day non-resident licenses is up which translates into a lower index given that a larger percentage of anglers are only fishing for a single day. The contemporary challenge for the division is to return participation in recreational fisheries to the 5.5 angler-day participation threshold. Related links: Target Last Modified: 11/09/2023 |
