Book excerpt: Twenty-four news networks, a plethora of newspapers and magazines, vibrant news-talk radio, and the ubiquitous Internet highlight our society as information-driven. With such a steady stream of hard facts mixed with publicised opinions, the mainstream population has an opinion on everything. Most anyone seems itching to argue their side of an issue, making once private beliefs fodder for general consumption. A staple of any medium's content is a regular public opinion poll on whatever hot topic strikes the editor's fancy. From the significant to the mundane, public opinion permeates society. Accordingly, politicians have taken note of these opinions and adopted stands and values that put them in tune with public sentiment. An understanding of the nature of public opinion, therefore, is paramount in today's world. This book assembles and presents a carefully chosen bibliography on public opinion in its many forms. The collection of references makes for a valuable resource in studying and researching the critical issue of public opinion. Easy access to these pieces of literature are then provided with author, title, and subject indexes.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Urban and community trout fishing ponds are valuable recreational resources for anglers in Idaho because of their ease of access and often regular stocking frequency. Effective management of these fisheries requires understanding how bag limits, stocking frequency, stocking density, and angler effort affect catch rates of catchable-sized Rainbow Trout Oncorhynchus mykiss and angler satisfaction. In recent years, fisheries managers reduced daily bag limits at some ponds in southern Idaho’s Treasure Valley from six to two trout in an effort to slow harvest and provide more consistent catch rates between stocking events. However, subsequent evaluations based on tag returns yielded ambiguous results. In this study, we evaluated how reduced bag limits affected catch rates over time between stocking events. We conducted creel surveys at four ponds with 2-trout bag limits, in addition to several with a six-trout bag limit to assess catch rates over time after stocking, while also accounting for factors such as stocking frequency and stocking density. Angler catch rates averaged 0.53 fish/h at ponds with a two-trout bag limit and 0.75 fish/h at ponds with a six-trout limit. Catch rates declined after trout stocking, but did so at similar rates in two- and six-trout ponds. Ponds stocked at weekly or bimonthly (twice monthly) frequencies had higher catch rates than ponds stocked monthly. Catch rates were negatively affected by air temperatures throughout the study. Anglers reported being somewhat or very satisfied 54% of the time at two-trout limit ponds and 64% of the time at six trout limit ponds, and satisfaction was positively related to catch rates. Despite the four trout difference in bag limits, 58% of anglers harvested ≤2 fish at six-trout limit ponds. Anglers that harvested >2 trout accounted for 74% of trout harvested at six-trout ponds. Angler-reported tags indicated average days-at-large of stocked trout was 29 days at two-trout ponds and 17 days at six-trout ponds. Angler tag returns suggested that, on average, total use (trout harvested + trout caught-and-released) was 34% and 57% at two- and six-trout ponds. Anglers that fished community ponds represented a variety of ages and ethnicities, underscoring the importance of ponds as fisheries in Idaho. When asked how to improve fishing at these ponds, anglers most desired larger trout or more species to catch.

Download or read book Lost a Desert River and Its Native Fishes written by Gordon Mueller and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Colorado River had one of the most unique fish communities in the world. Seventy-five percent of those species were found nowhere else in the world. Settlement of the lower basin brought dramatic change to both the river and its native fish. Those changes began more than 120 years ago as settlers began stocking nonnative fishes. By 1930, nonnative fish had spread throughout the lower basin and replaced native communities. All resemblance of historic river conditions faded with the construction of Hoover Dam in 1935 and other large water development projects. Today, few remember what the Colorado River was really like. Seven of the nine mainstream fishes are now Federally-protected as endangered. Federal and state agencies are attempting to recover these fish. However, progress has been frustrated due to the severity of human impact. This report represents testimony, old descriptions, and photographs describing the changes that have taken place in hopes that it will provide managers, biologists, and the interested public a better appreciation of the environment that shaped these unique fish.
Download or read book An Entirely Synthetic Fish written by Anders Halverson and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2010-03-02 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Anders Halverson provides an exhaustively researched and grippingly rendered account of the rainbow trout and why it has become the most commonly stocked and controversial freshwater fish in the United States. Discovered in the remote waters of northern California, rainbow trout have been artificially propagated and distributed for more than 130 years by government officials eager to present Americans with an opportunity to get back to nature by going fishing. Proudly dubbed an entirely synthetic fish by fisheries managers, the rainbow trout has been introduced into every state and province in the United States and Canada and to every continent except Antarctica, often with devastating effects on the native fauna. Halverson examines the paradoxes and reveals a range of characters, from nineteenth-century boosters who believed rainbows could be the saviors of democracy to twenty-first-century biologists who now seek to eradicate them from waters around the globe. Ultimately, the story of the rainbow trout is the story of our relationship with the natural world--how it has changed and how it startlingly has not.

The wisdom in this book comes from a simpler time, when the premise was: the more you know, the less you need. It teaches the reader how to discover where the fish are, at what depth, and what they are feeding on. Then it describes the techniques needed to present a fly at that depth, make it look lifelike, and hook the fish. With chapters on wet flies, nymphs, and dry flies, its authors employ both the tenkara rod as well as regular fly fishing gear to cover all the bases. Illustrated by renowned fish artist James Prosek, with inspiring photographs and stories throughout, Simple Fly Fishing reveals the secrets and the soul of this captivating sport.
