Total numher of California angling days. 1947 except for a brief levelling-off during the war. There has been about a five-fold increase in total angling pressure in California since 1935. Onl}' a small part of this upward trend can be attributed to recent regu- lations rof|uiring an angling license for the taking of catfish and certain marine fishes not previously covered and lowering the minimum age at which a license is required. It is not surprising that the success of individual anglers has declined as their numbers have increased. This has been the general trend for all types of angling. It has probably been at least partly the direct result of fishing pressure. More people have had to share the available crop of fish each year, and their individual shares have decreased accordingly. Another factor has been the large number of inexperienced newcomers to California, who have had to learn how and where to fish before competing on equal terms witli long-time residents of the State. Although the general trends of angling success are similar for all kinds of fresh-water and anadromous game fishes for which there are records, there is nevertheless considerable variation among them.
