This summer I worked closely with Lonnie Parry, a doctoral student in Olaf Jensen’s lab, on a project aimed at measuring urban shore angling effort, catch and harvest, and comparing the attitudes and values about fisheries management among boat and shore anglers. We found that boat anglers were typically fishing for salmon and sometimes trout, while shore anglers were fishing for smaller species such as bass, bluegill and perch. One of the most interesting skill sets I gained this summer was identifying different fish species in the Milwaukee River system and properly measuring and recording catch data.
