Anglers made about 43,- 000 trips fishing for these ocean species. “Nonresident anglers enjoyed a reasonably good success during the year, as indicated by the take of more than 538,000 game fish of all kinds. These out - of - state fishermen enjoyed well over 234,- 000 days of recreation on Oregon waters. “Although somewhat expected, it still came as a surprise to dis cover the large number of warm water game fish taken by ang lers. These fishermen reported catching in the neighborhood of more than 1,500,000 bass, crappie, perch, catfish and other warm water species. Of course, with most of these there is no bag lim it, and when anglers report tak ing crappie, perch or bullheads by the gunny sack or by the tub full, it’s a little difficult to tell just how many they are catching. Warm water game fish anglers made around 579,700 trips to the sloughs, potholes and impound ments to make this catch.” This compilation indicates the impact on Columbia county’s econ omy sports fishermen surely make. In addition to license fees, these people add many dollars to the economy through purchase of gas, food, lodging, boating and fishing equipment.
