2015 Survey of Recreational Fishing in Canada: Ontario Results i
Executive Summary
The 2015 Survey of Recreational Fishing in Canada collected information from anglers about their recreational fishing activities to assess the economic and social importance of recreational fisheries to Canada’s provinces and territories. As part of this survey, anglers who fished in the province of Ontario were asked additional questions about the locations fished, the number of fish caught and harvested by species as well as other socio-economic information regarding their fishing activities.
L’Enquête de 2015 sur la pêche récréative au Canada a permis de recueillir de l’information sur les activités de pêche récréative afin d’évaluer l’importance économique et sociale des pêches récréatives dans les provinces et les territoires du Canada. Toujours dans le cadre de cette enquête, un questionnaire provincial a été envoyé aux pêcheurs qui pratiquent cette activité en Ontario. Le questionnaire comprenait des questions supplémentaires sur les lieux de pêche, le nombre de poissons attrapés et récoltés selon l’espèce, ainsi que d’autres renseignements d’ordre socio-économique sur les activités de pêche. Il s’agit pour l’instant de la source la plus complète et la plus à jour de statistiques sur la récolte, la conservation et l’économie dans le domaine de la pêche sportive en Ontario.

2015 Survey of Recreational Fishing in Canada: Ontario Results iii
1.0 Introduction
The 2015 Survey of Recreational Fishing in Canada is the ninth in a series of federal - provincial surveys carried out every five years since 1975. The survey is a stratified random sample of licensed anglers that collects data about fishing effort, catch and harvest, as well as angler demographics, opinions and economic expenditures. The Ontario component of this survey requests the names of the waterbodies on which an angler fished in the previous year, the towns closest to them, and the number of fish caught and kept by species. These questions allow for the generation of spatially explicit estimates of fishing effort, catch, and harvest.
This report is supplemental to the 2015 Survey of Recreational Fishing in Canada: Selected Results for Ontario Fisheries report, giving a summary of selected results for Fisheries Management Zones (FMZs) and Provincially Significant Inland Fisheries (PSIFs) (formerly referred to as Specially Designated Waters (SDWs) in Ontario (Table 1, Table 29 and Figure 1). It provides fisheries information in tables and figures which can be used for a variety of planning purposes, including assisting managers and zone councils in developing management plans for Fisheries Management Zones.

2.0 Sampling methodology
The 2015 Survey of Recreational Fishing in Canada was received in February of 2016 by 42,611 anglers comprised of Ontario residents, Canadian residents, and U.S. citizens (Table 2). Anglers were selected using stratified random sampling with stratification based on licence category (excluding 1-day licences) and region of licence sales. For further stratification details see the Survey of Recreational Fishing in Canada: Selected Results for Ontario Fisheries report. Anglers were asked to report on their 2015 fishing activities, angler characteristics, fishing locations, fishing effort and harvest, expenditures, and fishing preferences. On February 10, 2016, half of the selected anglers were provided an access code and were invited to complete the survey online; the other half of the selected anglers were mailed a paper survey with a return postage paid envelope. Two follow up contacts were made by mail to both groups (February 20, 2016 and March 14, 2016), prompting them to respond. Anglers who were invited to complete the survey online had the option of phoning and requesting a paper survey; 737 of these anglers made this request and 548 of these anglers completed the paper survey. There were no

incentives offered in 2015 to encourage survey response whereas in 2010, there was a draw for prizes.
2.1 Data adjustment and analysis
2.1.1 Response rates and weighting
A total of 9,182 respondents completed the survey, which included participants in four different angler groups Canadian residents (not from Ontario), Non-Canadian residents (non- resident), Ontario residents and Seniors (Ontario residents over 65 who either purchased or fished with a deemed licence) (Table 2). To ensure that the entire angler population was represented in the analysis, the data for each responding angler was weighted. Each angler who responded to the survey has two weightings: the respondent weight and the household weight. The respondent weighting is used to calculate the fishing activity and opinion questions, while the household weight is used for expenditure calculations (Hogg 2010). There were several outliers in the expenditure values, and these outliers were only applied to the respondent angler, they were not expanded to represent the corresponding angler population.

2.1.2 Statistical reliability of the survey estimates
The quality of data used in this report is affected by sampling and non-sampling errors. To measure sampling errors, information is presented in terms of the Relative Standard Error (RSE). Since the exact estimates of variation cannot be calculated, the RSE is used as a proxy for assessing the variance in the data. The RSE for major variables is shown below, and the RSE values for some of the other data are presented with the data estimates throughout the report. Most data in this report has an associated RSE that is within the acceptable limits; although it is
2015 Survey of Recreational Fishing in Canada: Ontario Results 6
important to note that Statistics Canada does not generally publish data with an RSE of greater than 33.5%.
The ranges for the RSE listed below provide some guidelines as to how the data can be used and its limitations.
• Less than 16.5% - data can be used without condition • 16.5% to 33.5% - data should be used with caution • Greater than 33.5% - Data should be used with extreme caution
Non-sampling errors can also influence the quality of the data in the survey. Anglers may not understand or may misinterpret a question, they may introduce recall bias when they cannot remember an exact number, or they may make an error when entering data. There is evidence of a recall bias in the species caught and harvested data. For instance, anglers who indicated that they caught a lot of a particular species tended to round the number of fish caught to even 100’s (e.g. 100 or 200) or counts ending in 0 or 5 (e.g. 5, 10, or 15).
Species misidentification is another source of error. Anglers may not be able to correctly distinguish between the various species of bass, trout, or salmon, and although some effort has been made to correct some species data in this report, not all errors have been identified.
2.1.3 Post survey adjustment procedures
Although response rates were high for a traditional mail survey, non-responsive anglers represent a significant portion of the survey population (78.5%), and not having any information from these anglers affect the results of the survey. For example, anglers with higher rates of fishing are more likely to complete the survey than anglers who fished very little or not at all. An adjustment for these biases, is required to ensure the reported results are not higher than the actual values.
In 2005, a non-response survey was not completed due to budget constraints so, in this report, the 2005 values were adjusted by an average of the 2000 and 2010 adjustment rates (Table 32). For the 2010 survey, 10% of non-respondents were contacted by telephone in mid-2011 by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO). The non-response survey asked the angler several questions: if the survey had been returned by the angler, if the angler participated in fishing in 2010, an estimate of how many days fished, if they caught any fish, and if they kept any fish. DFO evaluated the responses to the non-response survey and adjusted the raw data. DFO reported that the adjustments made to the raw data resulted in a reduction of number of active anglers by 1.8%, a reduction of effort data (number of days fished, number of hours
2015 Survey of Recreational Fishing in Canada: Ontario Results 7
fished) and catch and harvest by 17%, and a reduction in expenditures by 6%. Since a non- response survey was not conducted in 2015, the 2010 non-response adjustment rates were used to adjust the 2015 data.
2.2 Fisheries Management Zone Calculations
Since an angler could have fished in multiple zones, the economic data reported by anglers needed to be attributed to a specific FMZ, to ensure that it was not double counted. To do this, the number of days spent in a zone was divided by the total days fished by the angler then multiplied by the economic values: (Zone Days) divided by (Total Days) multiplied by (Economic Value). When data could not be attributed to a specific lake, the FMZ of the nearest town was used, and all data was attributed to that zone.
2.3 Provincially Significant Inland Fisheries
SDWs were identified in Ontario’s recreational fishing policy “A New Ecological Framework for Recreational Fisheries Management in Ontario (2005)”. A formal risk assessment process was initiated to review provincial SDWs in 2012, and a new list known as PSIFs replaced SDWs in 2017 (Table 1 and Table 29). Previous Recreational Fishing Survey of Canada FMZ reports presented summaries of data on SDWs in 2005 and 2010. The current report presents 2015 data summaries on PSIFs and includes updates to the 2005 and 2010 data, to standardize and facilitate comparisons through time.
2.4 Comparing surveys
Generally, the 2015 survey is comparable to previous surveys going back to 1995, but analysis of data for FMZs commenced in 2005. Also, some questions are new to the 2015 survey while others were removed. Seniors were not surveyed in 2005, while seniors were included in the 2010 and 2015 survey and survey analyses. FMZ 1 was excluded from most tables due to the low number of respondents.

21 Total surface area estimates for FMZ 15 were acquired from T. Dunkley, 2020 (Aquatic Research and Monitoring Section). The surface area estimates for FMZ 15 waterbodies residing inside Algonquin Park were calculated by Fisheries Section using GIS. The surface areas for FMZ 15 (waterbodies outside Algonquin Park), was calculated by subtracting the surface area of waterbodies residing inside Algonquin Park from the total surface area of FMZ 15

22 Based on information presented in the 2000 Survey of Recreational Fishing in Ontario: A Descriptive Analysis, there was no significant difference between respondents and non-respondents in the non-resident categories. 23 This value was calculated by MNR based on pre non-response survey data and post non-response data; 2000 data for this category was unknown, so the direct 2010 value of 1.8% was used for 2005. 24 2005 adjustment rates were calculated by taking the average of 2000 and 2010 decreases. Seniors were not surveyed in 2005.
