METHODS The Nicomen Slough/Norrish Creek recreational fishery survey began on October 13 th and ended on November 30 th, One surveyor assessed the fishery. In October, the day was divided into two shifts (morning or afternoon) that spanned the entire daylight period. Shifts were randomly assigned to each survey day. By the start of November, daylight hours have reduced making only one shift necessary. The surveyor was stationed at the boat launch near the end of River Rd. from October 13 th -31 st, since most of the angling effort (shore and boat-based) was captured at this site. Although interviews can be obtained from 1
2 boat-based anglers returning from other systems (mainstem of the Fraser), these were excluded from the Nicomen analyses. In order to generate daily angler profiles, the surveyor conducted hourly rod counts of the boat launch and approximately half of a km of the shore, upstream of the boat launch. The surveyor also spent approximately 20 minutes of each hour of their survey day collecting incomplete interviews from anglers fishing along River Rd. When angler effort decreased at the boat launch, the surveyor was stationed at Norrish Creek for the remainder of the study period (November 1 st to 30 th ). The surveyor was stationed at the Hawkins Pickle Rd. bridge crossing at Norrish Creek. Hourly rod counts were conducted within visual range (up and down) of Hawkins Pickle Road, near the hatchery, where angling activity was concentrated. The surveyor also spent approximately 20 minutes of each hour of their survey day collecting incomplete interviews from anglers fishing along Norrish Creek. Complete interviews were obtained from anglers who had finished fishing for the day. At the end of their shift, the surveyor collected interviews from anglers still fishing (incomplete interviews), when possible. Sites where hourly rod counts were conducted had a total of 9 counts per day. IRCs (Instantaneous Rod Counts of anglers actively fishing) of the entire study area were scheduled once per week for each day type, by vehicle (i.e. one weekday and one weekend count). Historically, angler effort on holidays equals that on weekend days; as such, holidays were pooled with weekend days and classified as weekend day types. Weekday IRCs were randomly assigned to a day from Monday through Friday (excluding holidays); weekend IRCs alternated between Saturday and Sunday; and once per year, a holiday was chosen to assess rather than a weekend day. Surveyors worked all weekends and holidays with rotating days off during the weekdays. Surveyors worked one of two shifts (morning or afternoon), which were randomly assigned to each survey day. These shifts combined to span the entire daylight hours for each day type surveyed (weekday and weekend) during this study period. Data were blocked by day type (weekday or weekend) as well as the following time blocks: 1 October 13 th to 31 st 2 November 1 st to 15 th 3 November 16 th to 30 th Surveyors conducted angler interviews at their survey site(s) to obtain the following information: where the angler was fishing, length of angling trip, how much longer they intend to fish, target species, gear used, total catch retained, and total catch released. Further, if permitted, the surveyor inspected any catch to verify whether the angler s species identification was correct and to check for mark status. For coho, if the adipose fin was clipped (AFC) the surveyor would request to retain the head due to the possible presence of a coded-wire-tag (CWT). If there was any doubt that an adipose might have been clipped for a particular fish, for example if the adipose fin was partially regenerated or malformed, the fish was classified as AFC. The angler always retained the option of turning the head into a local depot themselves. The anglers were also requested to recall (if possible) the mark status of any released fish. Interviews were used to determine harvest-per-unit effort in hours (HPUE), release-per-unit effort in hours (RPUE), and to summarize the angler characteristics listed above. Daily effort is calculated using a combination of hourly rod counts conducted at the survey site and IRCs of the study area. Total angling effort is estimated by multiplying each day type s estimated daily effort (weekday and weekend) by the number of that day type in the study period. Using the total effort estimate, HPUE and RPUE are expanded to determine harvest and release numbers by species for the entire study area for the period assessed. Such analyses are documented in several DFO publications (Schubert 1992; Schubert 1995). Interview data, hourly rod count data and overflight data were stored and analyzed using Microsoft Excel. The data were verified in two steps. First, all field data sheets were examined for compliance with study procedures by the supervising technician and/or the creel data manager. Second, all entered data were error checked once by the supervising technician. 2
3 RESULTS Angling Effort Profile An angling effort profile for each day type was generated (Figure 2 and 3) using hourly rod counts at the survey sites (River Rd. boat Launch in October and Norrish Creek in November).
