Description:The Northwest Fisheries Science Center recently administered a survey to Washington State steelhead anglers. The Economic Survey of Recreational Steelhead Fishermen in Washington collected data on trip-taking behavior, expenditures, preferences for fishing trip attributes, and demographics of the target population defined to be eligible: adult anglers with a license that allows steelhead targeting or retention, having taken at least one trip in Washington within the previous 24 months.The primary purpose of this data collection was to enable the estimation of changes in net economic value associated with changes in biological and management-related attributes including catch rates, the percentage of wild steelhead, and season lengths in the primary rivers used to target steelhead in Washington State. In particular, the data collection included a set of stated preference questions including both discrete choice experiment and contingent behavior scenarios.This technical memorandum describes the methodology used to develop and administer the survey. In particular, the information contained here is intended to provide the detail necessary to evaluate the extent to which this data collection followed the best practices in contemporary stated preference research related to survey design, pre-testing, the choice of elicitation method, the experimental design, human subjects, peer review, the mode of data collection, and sampling strategy (Johnston et al. 2017).
