Thanks for all the help everyone! I presented my project on Wed. and got a solid A on it.

Here are some of the results

65 People took the survey.

All 65 were males and targeted trout.

Fly Fish- 26/ 40%

Spin and Fly Fish- 23/ 35%

30-40- 20/ 31%

Obviously this isn't 100 percent accurate because not everyone participates in internet forums, but it gives you an idea of which trout are the peoples favorite, where they are from, the number in each age group, and how they like to fish for them. Thanks for participating in my survey.
