My North Shore fishing experience

What do you fish for?

Question Title

Catch-and-Release only

I might like the opportunity to harvest, but will still fish even if catch-and-release only

I fish specifically to harvest

Question Title

* 2. How often do you fish the North Shore Annually?

maybe once a year

1 to 7 days a year

8 to 14 days a year

Only steelhead

mostly steelhead

Steelhead and Kamloops

mostly kamloops

No. I would not support further stocking of kamloops.

Yes. I would still support kamloops stocking regardless of hybridization with naturalized steelhead occurs.
