I don’t. It was a selection of trout stamp purchasers and it’s highly likely that it was a random selection of those 3000+ . As such, it would be a low probability that any single stamp holder would be selected despite the survey having a very nice sample size.I didn't get a survey. Wonder why?
I was not selected either and have no concerns that my opinions were not represented somewhere within such a large sample size. I’m confident that If my opinions were commonly held, then they were covered with the most typical responses. If my opinions were fringe opinions, then they were covered within responses that showed low frequencies.
As for general approvals of 68 and 62 percent, I would consider them good for these types of angler surveys. And if I recall correctly, wild trout anglers were even more satisfied than stocked trout anglers! (Assuming there’s no overlap in the confidence intervals associated with the values). My understanding is that 70% approval is about as good as it gets in such angler approval surveys and that number is hard to exceed. In essence, if a program scores 70 percent, it’s apparently on the right track (and I’m betting that the confidence interval on 68% overlaps with 70%). An important lesson to accept in serving the angling public is that you will never please everyone.
