Abstract

Abstract A creel census was conducted on the Deerskin river to determine the results of stocking trout of legal size. The stocking was done in December and May and consisted of 1,002 brook and 1,621 rainbow trout. A yield of 3,438 trout was obtained. Native fish made up 71 per cent of the catch. Native brook trout supplied the most fishing (50.5 per cent of the total). All stocked fish, especially the larger rainbow planted in December, were inferior in condition and sporting value. There were no reports of either species carrying over to the second season.
