Between May 2008 and September 2010, questionnaires were applied to 120 local fishermen by visiting the region six times. At the end of the study, the age distribution of the fishermen were mentioned between 24 and 78; maximum number of fishermen was found between 50 and 59 ages with 40.00% and minimum number of fishermen’s ages were between 70 and 79 ages with 4.17 %. 93.33% of the fishermen were married. 72.50% of them have elementary school graduate and 8.33% of them have high school graduate. Engine power of boats between 4-80 HP. Average engine power was 10HP. For 48.33% of fishermen, fishing was their exclusive occupation. Boat lengths were between 3.5 and 9.7 m and average of boat length was 6.0 (± .05) meter. As a result of the research, it is determined that, age average of fishermen in the Lake Eğirdir is high and they are not educated about the subject. Because of that more than half of the fishermen in the Lake Eğirdir have an income rather than fishing, it is concluded that, in order to provide sustainability in fishing, restrictions done in fishing will be more tolerant for fishermen in terms of economic way.
