Abstract: Lake Billy Chinook Creel Survey, Boat and Bank Anglers - March 1-October 31, 2010

Purpose: The purpose of this creel was to estimated angler effort and catch of Bull Trout, Kokanee, Bass (both Largemouth and Smallmouth), Rainbow Trout, Brown Trout, and juvenile Chinook Salmon. Some Rainbow Trout were marked with an adipose fin clip or a left maxillary clip. Anglers were asked if any trout they caught and then subsequently released were above or below the regulation length limits. Released trout were then categorized as either legal or sublegal.
