To document characteristics of the Campbell/Quinsam winter steelhead fishery prior to the return of hatchery fish, creel surveys were undertaken in 1975-76 and 1976-77. Results of the 1975-76 program indicated that Campbell River anglers fished an estimated 4376 days to catch 532 steelhead, of which 172 were released. Quinsam River anglers kept 54 steelhead and released 60 in 832 days fished. Early season catch and effort for both rivers were reduced by some small proportion by the late start in 1975. Late season figures were confused by anglers fishing mainly for trout and by the entry of kelts to the fishery. Inability of survey personnel to contact some Quinsam River anglers during the early stages of the 1975-76 program also reduced catch figures. In 1976-77, anglers fished 3360 days on Campbell River to land 379 fish, 152 of which they released. Quinsam anglers tallied 725 days and kept 105 of an estimated 174 fish caught. Angler day was 2.0 hours in duration in 1975-76. In 1976-77, Campbell River angler
