 People who use these natural resources usually come to cherish them because they appreciate the social experiences and personal benefits they associate with these activities. Whether it is tying into a big trout on a fly rod or soaking a worm off a quiet dock with a child, the memories gained while fishing will last a life-time. A dollar value can't be placed on memories and experiences, yet they enrich our lives and society in many ways.
Vermont's fisheries biologists also gather information regarding the recreational desires, preferences, and satisfaction level of anglers. Within the bounds of sound science, we strive to satisfy anglers' desires as we manage the resource. We are working for the benefit of both fish and people. Abundance of fish results in satisfied anglers who support fisheries management and return to fish another day.
Vermont's fish populations are renewable resources. Through the encouragement of the conscientious use of our fisheries resources and the protection and improvement of fish habitat, we ensure that Vermonters will continue to have the opportunity to enjoy fishing in Vermont. People that value and enjoy the resource are motivated to actively work to ensure that healthy, productive resources will be there for our children. Society and the resource benefit.
