Hello to Mike and all on the forum,
Some may be aware that i carried out an experiment in to the effect of dissolved oxygen and water temperature on rainbow trout catch at the fishery this summer. I am currently working very hard on the statistical side of the dissertation now, but thought i would let you know some interesting facts i have discovered whilst looking at the data from previous years...
> The percentage of people catching nothing on their tickets has gone from 19.55% - 2003, 18.11% - 2004, 9.60% - 2005 and finally 5.71% in 2006, i think this speaks volumes for the fishery it's self but also for the anglers and their judgement on how to fish and the tactics to use.
> Throughout this four year timescale, i have looked at the average fish totals for five anglers in particular, including (chris mcalister, hamish young, jim aidie, keith crocket, kevin neri) the average over the four years is (10.94, 13.92, 10.93, 15.53, 15.59) respectively. Some interesting values i thought!!!
Well just thought i would let you in on a tiny part of the study.
Kind regards
Ben Bryant
