Lakelse River, located approximately 27 km southwest of Terrace, B. C. supports an important cutthroat trout fishery that peaks during the months of April and May. Local sportsmen have recently voiced concern that the cutthroat population is declining, witnessed by a decrease in the size of the fish taken as well as a decline in overall success. The purpose of this report is to present an analysis of creel census and biological data collected from the cutthroat sports fishery on the Lakelse River during the spring of 1978. On the Lakelse River from April 2 to May 24, 639 angling parties were checked by creel census personnel. This amounted to a total of 1026 anglers, or 1.6 anglers per party. These anglers fished for a total of 2981.5 angler hours. Angling intensity above the CNR trestle in the Fly Fishing Only area totaled 1502 angler hours in April and 1017 angler hours in May. Below the trestle, 224 angler hours were expended in April and 247 angler hours in May. Fishing pressure peaked in the last week of April with 824 angler hours and the first week of May with 604 angler hours. Success of anglers in terms of cutthroat caught per hour ranged from a low of 0.05 in the second week of April to 0.38 in the last week of April with an average success rate for the fishery of 0.30 fish per hour.
