Just wondering how these numbers are determined?

[Capt. Keith Wils]

Please find attached the final 2009 harvest results for Lake Michigan recreational fisheries (no charter data).

We will have a presentation at the April LMCFAC meeting by Tracy Kolb of our Charlevoix research station that will detail a new internet tool that will be accessible to everyone to create their own tables of creel results.
