This paper specifies and estimates a characteristics-based utility-the­oretic model of site-specific recreational fishing demand. The esti­mated parameters are used to calculate the conditional compensating variations (CCVs) that different individuals would associate with the changes in the availability of fish that might result from changes in the level of acid deposition. The almost universally ignored, but policy relevant, standard deviations of these consumer's surplus measures are also reported. These results indicate that the benefits recreational fishermen would receive from reduced acid deposition are significantly positive but possibly quite small.
