This 54-page manuscript outlines the results of two surveys conducted in 2000 on sport-fisher spending in the Snake River Basin of central Idaho. A measure of their willingness to pay for fishing trips plus a notation of their actual expenditures, the study also provides information about the anglers' spending patterns. These tourist trends are useful in estimating impacts on job stimulus and business sales in the region as well as they provide information on the transportation, lodging and outdoor recreation activities opted for by the anglers.
