There are 44 million Americans of all ages, race, and gender who fish for hundreds of species of fish from Maine to California. There is no typical angler—however, using information gleaned from the 2001 U.S. Fish and Wildlife National Survey, the American Sportfishing Association (ASA) has compiled information on the general preferences and vital statistics of America’s anglers. Our regional analysis highlights a number of interesting features as well as provides valuable data—helping any business or agency learn more about their angling customers. The American Sportfishing Association has information on angler demographics, targeted species and expenditures. (Produced by Southwick Associates for the ASA; description courtesy of the ASA).
