Great data but im not following.
Reported Brown Trout catch, (interview data)
Total catch 2,645 trout of which 67 (2.5 %) were harvested
Overall catch rate was 0.25 trout/hour or 1 trout per 4 hours spent fishing
Reported Rainbow Trout catch, (interview data)
Total catch 700 trout of which 9 (1.3 %) were harvested
Overall catch rate was 0.06 trout/hour or 1 trout per 16.6 hours spent fishing
Based on the 2018 creel data, the recreational fishery is focused almost entirely on trout, fly fishing is the predominant technique, and catch and release is widely practiced.
2,947 (76.5 %) fly tackle
3,649 (94.7 %) specifically targeting trout
Is the need to reduce to creel limit to offset the damage done by fishing over the spawn and year round pressure?
