Anglers participating in the survey will be asked the number of days they went saltwater sport fishing in Oregon during the previous two months, and a few questions about each of those fishing days. Phone calls will be made during a three-week period every two months. The survey takes about two minutes for people who had done no saltwater fishing and about eight minutes for people who have. Names are selected randomly from a database of all fishing license holders. The sampling goal for each calling period ranges between 400 and 800 complete interviews, or about 1 or 2 percent of license holders. |
