1. According to the study, catch rates above Benton Bridge are as good or better than they were before the new regulations took effect. 2. The experiment to establish a new fishery and draw anglers worked for about a decade, until the catch rate got too high, Bottroff said. 3. The most recent surveys also showed a high catch rate of adult sand bass and blue catfish. 4. The plants would be followed up with intensive creel surveys to determine catch rates and angler participation. 5. The Salton Sea produces higher catch rates and more poundage of fish per sport angler than any other inland water in the state. 6. Under the guidance of government scientists, a few fishermen set their cod jigs and traps and hand lines in designated spots to measure catch rates. |
