    May 1993/$ 1.50 Pennsylvania *.f** -*«:, _ •/J0 4£ 4r <%3r | *<#'*• feffe :•:, \'i Fishing is Big in Pennsylvania Preliminary findings of the 1991 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife Associated Recreation were recently released by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Unfortunately, these findings have caused some confusion as people attempted to compare these results with those of previous surveys. A major part of the 1991 survey was done with a different methodology, thereby making detailed comparisons with earlier survey results inaccurate. The 1991 survey, which was done by the U. S. Census Bureau, contacted respondents every four months, but previous surveys were done at the end of 12-month periods. Recent research has revealed that people were over­ stating their participation and expenditures when asked to recall over a 12- month period. Therefore, indications are that the 1991 survey results are more accurate than earlier efforts. There continued to be a need, however, for comparative trend information. Program managers need recreational participation and spending trend data because it is an important ingredient of program planning. To meet this need, the Service determined that the methodology for com­ paring preliminary screening data was consistent with earlier results, and therefore the screening data could be used to determine trends in fishing and wildlife recreation. Interpretation of the screening data provides the following trends for na­ tionwide fishing activity during the 1980-1990 decade: • The number of anglers rose 20 percent over the decade while the num­ ber of hunters was essentially stable. • Spending on fishing rose 56 percent during the 1980s.

  • The Real Story of World Record Muskies
    The Real Story of the World Record Muskie Controversies “Selective” Revisionist History Exposed by Larry Ramsell (www.larryramsell.com) Excerpted from “A Compendium of Muskie Angling History” revised, updated and expanded-3rd edition-Volume I-Muskellunge World Records-the history-the truth-2007. (Author’s note: My primary goal in rewriting my “Compendium” was not for profit, but was to make available to the world’s muskie anglers the real truth regarding the world record muskie controversies. Since limited numbers of muskie anglers are book buyers and in an endeavor to make this information available to anyone interested without cost, I decided to put together this excerpt. When asked, MuskieFirst’s Steve Worrall said, “We would be delighted to publish the excerpted version.”. Some will say, “not again”, but the truth is most muskie anglers aren’t aware of all that has transpired. A lot of the information herein was never before been published. This excerpt will cover all the highlights and pertinent information regarding this entire subject. Volume I of my book, containing over 640 pages and 250 photographs, completely supports and fully details the excerpted material contained herein, as well as containing all of the catch stories and other world record angler information since 1877, that will not be detailed here. While I concede that parts of Volume I is a lengthy and “tough read”, this excerpt too will, out of necessity, be fairly long and somewhat complex. I have tried to “simplify” it as much as possible without leaving out too much of the published material and photographs and still provide detailed information about this subject.

  • Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission Home Page
    SPECIAL FEATURE INSIDE: Warmwater Fishing in Pennsylvania Pennsylvania 800 JUNE 1984 HOTTEST NEW BASS TIPS FOR HOME WATERS page 4 FOOL YOUR FIRST MUSKY page 24 The Keystone t \ Official Fishing inciting Magazine For someone outside of government, the system of laws, regulations and policies is no doubt confusing. The General Assembly has entrusted the Pennsylvania Fish Commission with broad authority to regulate fishing and boating in Pennsylvania, and of course, our regulatory authority extends to reptiles, amphibians and other aquatic organisms. Most of our public is familiar with seasons, sizes, creel limits, and the various rules that boaters follow. These are all regulations, and violations of such regulations are criminal offenses. The 10-member Pennsylvania Fish Commission considers proposed regulations at public meetings and from there they move authorization of publication as notices of proposed rulemaking. More comments are taken from the public, and presuming no substantive changes are made, the proposal is usually finally adopted at a subsequent Commission meeting. This process is orderly and the public input is sought quite often before we even propose such regulations. Frequently these regulations result from suggestions from the public. The eight- member Boating Advisory Board is a great source of ideas and input, and we get similar advice from the Herpetological Advisory Committee. However, there are some people who believe that we should regulate by petition. Just the other day we received one with a great number of signatures,
