What does that have to do with a library dedicated to the art of fly-fishing? Simply that knowledge in any format may be lost.

Then there are us old fishermen who just simply have to wear bifocals after years of reading fine print! Here are a few easy rules for accessing and using this treasure we call the MVFF Library. 1.

  • Net Benefits of Recreational Fishing in the Great Lakes, Upper Mississippi River, and Ohio River Basins
    Net Benefits of Recreational Fishing in the Great Lakes, Upper Mississippi River, and Ohio River Basins December 2012 Prepared by: Richard C. Ready1, Gregory L. Poe2, T. Bruce Lauber3, Selmin Creamer3, Nancy A. Connelly3, and Richard C. Stedman3 1. Department of Agricultural Economics, Sociology, and Education, Pennsylvania State University. 2. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, Cornell University. 3. Human Dimensions Research Unit, Department of Natural Resources, Cornell University. Executive Summary This report provides estimates of the net value to anglers of recreational fishing in the Great Lakes and Upper Mississippi and Ohio River basins within the following 12 states: Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, Pennsylvania and New York. Within these three basins, particular attention is given to those lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams that are located downstream from all barriers impassable to fish (dams, waterfalls, etc.). It is these waters that the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) considers susceptible to the effects of possible aquatic nuisance species (ANS) transfer between the Great Lakes basin and the Upper Mississippi and Ohio River basins (in either direction). Cornell University (CU) developed an economic model to estimate net baseline recreational fishing values using the travel cost valuation method. The development of these net benefit estimates took place in three stages: (a) a series of focus groups with recreational anglers; (b) surveys of recreational anglers; and (c) the development and estimation of an economic model of angler behavior. The surveys were also used to develop estimates of trip expenditures. Based on fishing license sales data provided by the states, it was estimated that 6.6 million anglers lived and fished in the 12-state study area in 2011.

    MACKEY, MATTHEW M., M.S. May 2017 ECOLOGY & EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY ANALYSIS OF THE ICHTHYOFAUNAL COMMUNITY AT OLD WOMAN CREEK, A LAKE ERIE COASTAL WETLAND (117 pp.) Thesis Advisor: Mark W. Kershner Great Lakes coastal wetlands are of significant ecological and economic importance. These wetlands collect runoff from surrounding land, mitigate natural disasters, and provide habitat for plants and animals at all life stages. There is a growing literature describing the factors effecting spatial and temporal patterns in fish diversity in brackish coastal wetlands that surround marine waters, but similar studies are lacking in freshwater estuaries and little is known about these patterns in larval fishes. Adult fishes were collected weekly between May and October 2015 using fyke nets set in monotypic stands of vegetation. Larval fishes were collected weekly between May and October 2015, and biweekly from April to August 2016. Water depth was measured at all fyke nets and all traps. A suite of abiotic variables was also measured during 2016. Patterns in fish distribution and diversity were assessed using univariate and multivariate statistics. Fish did not appear to choose specific types of vegetation, but preferred the presence of vegetation to open water areas. Patches of submerged aquatic vegetation and water lily/lotus had a significant effect on larval community structure, as did dissolved oxygen, pH, and secchi depth. Larvae peaked in abundance in mid-July in 2015, and early June in 2016, but the 2016 peak had over 1000 more individuals than the 2015 peak. Further, abundance values from 2015 were similar to those from the same dates in 2016.

Each State summary covers four pages; the fourth page is a map showing the locations of hatcheries in the State. Foreword This is part II of the report on the National Survey of Needs for Hatchery Fish. The purpose of the survey was to collect information to guide State and Federal fishery managers in their efforts to provide recreational fishing to an ever-growing number of anglers. The survey report is in two parts. The first section, or National Section, contains a summary and interpretation of the data on a nationwide basis. It also contains a copy of the sur- vey design, a glossary, and copies of the survey forms. This second section, or State Section, contains summaries of the data on a State by State basis. For each State, a map shows the loca- tion of State and Federal fish hatcheries. The survey was carried out in the fall and winter of 1966, collecting from Federal and State conservation agencies data on the present and future (1) amount and types of sport-fish habitat, (2) amount and types of habitat stocked, (3) numbers and types of fishermen, (4) stocking requirements, and (5) hatchery fish pro- duction capabilities.
