Description

A creel survey was conducted at the Delta Clearwater Arctic grayling Thymallus arcticus fishery during 1996. A single access survey with information obtained from individual (completed-trip) anglers was used to describe the age and length compositions of the Arctic grayling harvest along with angler ratings of the quality of fishing at the Delta Clearwater River fishery. At the Delta Clearwater River, 70% (SE = 3%) of the Arctic grayling sampled in the harvest were of the preferred Relative Stock Density (RSD) length category. Age 6 Arctic grayling comprised 35% (SE = 3%) of the harvest sample. Sixty-five percent (SE = 2%) of those anglers interviewed who expressed an opinion as to the quality of fishing at the Delta Clearwater River rated the quality of fishing as good and 28% (SE= 2%) rated the fishery as excellent.
