DNR Bass Creel Survey

Since 2003, Minnesota Federation Nation bass clubs have provided the Minnesota DNR with bass creel survey data. Creel surveys provide valuable information such as:

• Maximum size and mean weights, which are indicators of size structure and exploitation
• Catch per effort, which are indicators of standing stock and abundance
• Relationships to lake habitat condition, such as secchi disk, aquatic plants, shoreland condition, and other physical, biological, and chemical descriptors Angler effort and success rates, which are indicators of potential exploitation rates
