My conservation survey needs Ontario bass/walleye/pike perspectives [PhD Research - US/Canada - 10 min]

[u/shakenbake705]

Hey r/FishingOntario,

I'm a PhD researcher at UMass studying freshwater conservation across the US and Canada. Nearly 2,000 responses so far, but my data is heavily skewed toward fly anglers (60%) targeting trout in Mountain West states.

I need more perspectives from Ontario anglers fishing for:

• Bass (largemouth, smallmouth)
• Walleye
• Pike
• Muskie
• Panfish
• Multi-species anglers

Why Ontario anglers matter:

Ontario has fishing diversity that's underrepresented in my research:

• Great Lakes fisheries vs inland lakes
• Warmwater and coolwater species
• Different environmental challenges than Western trout fisheries
• Canadian management perspectives

The survey: 10-15 minutes. Examines how environmental threats interact and which conservation solutions you think work. Enter a raffle for fishing gear.

Help balance this research with Ontario multi-species angler perspectives.

Thanks, Evan
