The British Columbia freshwater portion of the 1985 National Survey of Sport Fishing in Canada was a cooperative effort of the provincial Ministry of Environment and Park's Recreational Fisheries Branch and the federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans. The survey was conducted by mail using a 2.4% random sample of 1985 freshwater angling license holders. The survey revealed that of the 360,139 licence holders, 87.3% or 314,262 anglers were active during 1985. Of the active anglers, 77% were BC residents and 23% were nonresidents. The 71,561 active nonresident anglers were almost equally divided between nonresident Canadians and nonresident aliens. It is estimated that anglers fished a total of 4,754,000 days during 1985. Resident anglers accounted for 90% of this activity with non-residents providing the remaining 10%. On average, a resident angler spent 17.6 days fishing while a nonresident spent 6.6 days. Anglers spent 70.5% of their angler days fishing on lakes and only 29.5% on rivers and streams. Total
