MILLERTOX LAKE CREEL CENSUS 473 Fishing Quality In a general M'ay, present fishing quality at ]\Iillerton Lake can best be described as usually fair but occasionally good for those who know the lake and its peculiarities and consistently poor for inexperienced fishermen. Three different measures of fishing equality have been derived from the Millerton Lake data. They are (1) catch per unit of effort, (2) catch per unit of area, and (3) percentage of fishermen catching noth- ing (zero catches). The unit of effort which was found to be most useful in this work is the fisherman day. The collection of data in all cases at the end of the angler's day makes this a simple unit to use and provides the same sort of expression of success that is used by the anglers themselves. Average fishing days for the various classes of fishermen in 1952 were: All hours Shore hours Boat fisherm<^n hours Bass fishermen hours Sunfish fishermen hours Bass and sunfish fishermen (combination ) hours The record of catch per fisherman day taken from censuses since the opening of fishing in 1945, shown in Table 6 and Figure 5, is typical of the sequence of events in new warmwater impoundments.
