Collectively, recreational fisheries can take a significant fraction of the yearly catch—in some cases more than commercial fisheries. It is important that systems used to monitor fishing catch are adequate for timely management of recreational fisheries. However, the large number of anglers and access points makes monitoring recreational fishing much very more difficult. This report reviews the types of survey methods used to estimate catch in recreational fisheries, including state/federal cooperative programs.
