Description of methods used for collection/generation of data: Full methodology described in McEachran et al (in prep). Briefly, we designed and implemented a mailed survey questionnaire to collect information that could be generalized to all annual fishing license holders in Minnesota. A simple random sample of 4000 annual angling license holders was drawn from the Electronic Licensing System (ELS) Database curated by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (MNDNR). Potential respondents were contacted in May 2019 using a modified Dillman method (Dillman et al. 2014), whereby potential respondents received an initial mailed cover letter ahead of the mailed paper questionnaire and $1 bill incentive. The sampling frame consisted of anglers who had purchased an annual fishing licenses (excluding combination or lifetime licenses; license code 111) for the 2018-2019 fishing season, and included both Minnesota residents and non-residents. Reminders were mailed to non-responders one week and two weeks after the initial mailing. After the initial mailing of the paper questionnaire, non-respondents received up to two follow-up postcards with a link to take the survey online via Qualtrics (Qualtrics, Provo, UT). 2. Methods for processing the data: Number of fish purchased, number of trips taken, and administrative location of residence were calculated in R (see File I for complete code). 3. Instrument- or software-specific information needed to interpret the data: none 4. Standards and calibration information, if appropriate: n/a 5. Environmental/experimental conditions: self-administered surveys completed via paper questionnaire or online 6. Describe any quality-assurance procedures performed on the data: Incomplete responses were removed from the data. Illegible or incompatible responses noted in the data. 7.
