Abstract
The information in this study can be used by fisheries managers to economically substantiate and motivate actions to enhance the benefits of recreational fishing. The analysis demonstrates that diversity of preferences means some anglers choose fishing sites based on information about catch and accessibility, while others care less about these characteristics. Nevertheless, in general, we find that anglers in the U.S. southwest value increases in bass and walleye abundance as well as state programs to improve public fishing access.
