What does 22 years of research tell you about nesting bass? Our FCF Chair, Dr. David Philipp, was recently interviewed by Outdoor Canada about his long-term research program investigating the impacts of angling on nesting black bass. What are the consequences for a bass population when angling is allowed while the males are providing parental care? Click on the link below to read the discussion about what the research shows. FCF has been a contributor to some of this work, and we would like to thank Gord Pyzer at Outdoor Canada on his effort to get fisheries science research out to the angling community.
