Abstract

The number of nonresident anglers along the Lake Ontario coast has decreased over the past 15 years. Therefore, in order to sustain a strong sport fishing industry, local businesses and tourism promoters might want to tap into the large resident angler market group. This study examines resident anglers' social, environmental, and economic constraints/facilitators and motivations related to fishing on Lake Ontario and its tributaries. A survey was sent to 7,000 resident landowners in the seven New York counties bordering Lake Ontario (1,000 surveys per county).
