Anglers Wanted For Survey On Fishing Habits & Habitats

2nd May 2014

#Angling - Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) wants your help to improve fish habitats and make your angling experience better.

Anglers across Ireland are being invited to take part in a survey as part of an international report on anglers' habits and how they rate the fisheries they frequent.

"Great fishing is about the prospect of lots of quality fish while spending time enjoying the outdoors," says IFI. "Quality fish come from healthy populations enjoying good water, plenty of food and access to habitat.

"When we have dams, denuded riverbanks, culverts, dredged gravel beds and poor water quality we don’t have healthy fish and we certainly don’t have great fishing experiences."

The survey should take no more than five minutes to complete. All information collected is anonymous and not related to your email address.

IFI is also offering a prize draw liked at the end of the survey where you could win a €300 tackle voucher.
