DNR Bass Creel Survey
The Minnesota DNR has requested the participation of the Minnesota Federation
Nation bass clubs to assist in collecting bass creel survey data. Creel surveys
provide valuable information such as:
-
Maximum size and mean weights, which are indicators of
size structure and exploitation
-
Catch per effort, which are indicators of standing stock
and abundance
-
Relationships to lake habitat condition, such as secchi
disk, aquatic plants, shoreland condition, and other physical, biological,
and chemical descriptors Angler effort and success rates, which are indicators
of potential exploitation rates
