• Description:
  To develop a better understanding of the interests, motivations, and behavior of Lake Ontario's boating salmonid anglers, a mail survey was conducted; responses from 437 anglers were analyzed. Motivational characteristics​, profiles, and changes in motivation of anglers over time were assessed and described, and the potential impacts of the findings for management purposes were discussed. Personal investment theory holds promise as a tool for assessing the motivational differences that distinguish anglers in different market segments.
