Access point angler surveys have been conducted at selected locations in Arrow Lakes Reservoir (ALR) 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 19 years after the beginning of a large scale nutrient program in 1999. This report summarizes 2018 (calendar year), as part of the monitoring for FWCP Large Lakes Action Plan objectives.

Access point angler surveys have been conducted at selected locations in Arrow Lakes Reservoir (ALR) 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 19 years after the beginning of a large scale nutrient program in 1999. Sampling covers 5 days/month at three sites, and site-specific estimates are expanded to the whole reservoir using overflight boat counts. This report summarizes 2018 (calendar year), as part of the monitoring for FWCP Large Lakes Action Plan objectives; 1. to ensure a productive and diverse aquatic ecosystem and 3. to optimize recreational angling opportunities, participation and local benefits (FWCP 2012; Appendix 7 lists sub-objectives).
