Description:Coastal businesses in the Lake Ontario region (i.e., Jefferson, Oswego, Cayuga, Wayne, Monroe, Orleans, and Niagara counties) are greatly dependent on anglers for income. Past promotional efforts in the Lake Ontario region have primarily focused on non-resident anglers (i.e., anglers from outside New York State) interested in fishing for trout and salmon. This study is focused on New York’s Lake Ontario resident anglers -- a large and fairly stable angler group whose travel within the Lake Ontario region is less affected by high fuel costs and the state of the economy than non-resident anglers. The purpose of this study is to understand the motivations, constraints, and facilitators specific to resident fishing efforts in order to inform future fisheries management, and sportfishing promotion and marketing efforts in the Lake Ontario region.
