Fishing was most popular amongWhites and African Americans. Whitesparticipated at a 16 percent rate andAfrican Americans participated at a 10percent rate. Other races, which includeNative Americans, Pacific Islanders,and those of mixed race, participatedat a 7 percent rate. Asian Americansparticipated at a 6 percent rate. Ofall anglers, 86 percent were White,7 percent were African American, 5percent were other races, and 2 percentwere Asian Americans.2001–2011 Comparison of FishingActivityIn 2011 the number of people fishingwas 11 percent higher than in 2006.Specifically, participation in freshwater,except Great Lakes, and saltwaterfishing were up significantly, 8 and 15percent, respectively. The number ofGreat Lakes anglers did not undergoa significant change. Days fishing,however, did not have statisticallysignificant changes for any type offishing, which means average daysper freshwater, except Great Lakes,and Great Lakes anglers were slightlydown. Expenditures for trip-relateditems and equipment decreased11 percent overall, primarily due to a41 percent drop in big-ticket specialequipment such as cabins and boats.Comparing fishing in 2011 to that in2001, there was no significant differencein either the number of participantsor days for any type of fishing.The drop in fishing from 2001 to2006 was reversed across the boardby the increase from 2006 to 2011.Total expenditures also did not changesignificantly, although when expendituresare broken down into its twocomponents, trip-related and equipmentitems, there were differences. Anglersspent significantly more in 2011 fortrip-related expenses and less forequipment purchases, particularly thebig-ticket items.Number of Anglers(Millions)Days of Fishing(Millions)Fishing Expenditures(Billions of 2011 dollars)34.130.033.1557517554$45.3$47.0$41.820012006201120012006201120012006201118 2011 National Survey of Fishing, Hunting, and Wildlife-Associated Recreation U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and U.S. Census Bureau
