Angler interview data for an aerial creel survey at a Nebraska reservoir. Contains 48 interviews across 16 sampling days in June-July 2024, with 3 interviews per sampling day. Anglers target walleye and bass. All interviews are complete trips. Dates match example_aerial_counts.

Usage

example_aerial_interviews

Format

A data frame with 48 rows and 8 variables:

date

Interview date (Date class), June-July 2024.

day_type

Day type stratum: "weekday" or "weekend".

trip_status

Trip completion status: "complete" for all 48 interviews.

hours_fished

Numeric trip duration in hours (range 1.0-5.0). This column feeds the mean trip duration (\(\bar{L}\)) used in estimate_catch_rate.

walleye_catch

Integer total walleye caught (kept + released).

walleye_kept

Integer walleye harvested; always <= walleye_catch.

bass_catch

Integer total bass caught (kept + released).

bass_kept

Integer bass harvested; always <= bass_catch.
