Angler interview data for a summer creel survey at a camera-monitored boat launch. Contains 40 interviews across 8 sampling days in June 2024, targeting walleye and bass. All interviews are complete trips. Dates match the date range in example_camera_counts.

Usage

example_camera_interviews

Format

A data frame with 40 rows and 8 variables:

date

Interview date (Date class), June 2024.

day_type

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

trip_status

Trip completion status: "complete" for all 40 interviews.

hours_fished

Numeric fishing effort in hours (range 0.5-5.0).

walleye

Integer total walleye caught (kept + released).

walleye_kept

Integer walleye harvested; always <= walleye.

bass

Integer total bass caught (kept + released).

bass_kept

Integer bass harvested; always <= bass.
