Kouchibouguac National Park staff initiated an angler survey & creel census in 1990. Objectives of this project were to gather demographic data on the anglers, determine fishing effort at various locations, calculate catch per hour for individual anglers & the catch per species, and determine age, length, & weight of individual fish. Anglers were interviewed during the 1990, 1991, 1992, and 1996 fishing seasons using a roving staff method. This report describes the application of the roving creel census technique to early season recreational trout fisheries in two major river systems & several brooks within the park. Study results & conclusions are presented and some recommendations are made regarding future surveys. A copy of the angler survey questionnaire is included.
