Audience:  Government and Public

Access point angler surveys have occurred at selected locations in Arrow Lakes Reservoir since 1976 to monitor the effects of BC Hydro dams and fishery compensation efforts. They provide a valuable long term index of angling effort and harvest from the years of dam construction to 20 years after the beginning of a large scale nutrient program in 1999. Sampling covers 5 days/month at three access locations. This report summarizes 2019, calendar year, results for angler residence and experience, targeted species, catch rate, and fish size, as part of the monitoring for FWCP Large Lakes Action Plan objectives for conservation and sustainable use. Overflight boat counts were conducted in 2019-2020 to revise the expansion factors for whole lake catch and harvest estimates; since analysis of these data was not complete at the time of writing, angler effort, catch and harvest estimates for 2019 will be provided in a future report.
