Collinsworth, Commissioner DIVISION OF SPORT FISH E. Richard Logan, Director Volume 27 Study S-62 RESEARCH PROJECT SEGMENT State: Alaska Name: Sport Fish Investigations of Alaska Project: F-10-1 Study: S-62 Study Title: ANADROMOUS SALMON STUD1ES Job: S-62-1 Job Title: Kanektok River Creel Census Cooperator: Kenneth T. Alt Period Covered: 1 July 1985 to 30 June 1986 ABSTRACT From 14 June to 15 July 1985, a stratified, random creel census on the Kanektok River resulted in an estimated 5,212 angler hours expended to catch 3,132 chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha (Walbaum) and 2,121 chum salmon, Oncorhynchus keta (Walbaum). Only 667 chinook and 323 chum salmon were retained by anglers. Catch per hour ranged from 0.6 chinook salmon to 0.056 Dolly Varden char, SaZveZinus mazma (Walbaum). Most anglers were guided and were nonresidents. KEY WORDS Kanektok River, freshwater creel census, chinook salmon, chum salmon, rainbow trout, Dolly Varden char. BACKGROUND The Kanektok River is located south of Bethel in the Togiak National Wildlife Refuge; its popularity as a chinook salmon, Oncorhynchus tshawytscha, sport fishing stream has been increasing for the past 5 years (Figure 1). Estimated harvests increased from less than 500 fish in the early 1980s to a high of 1,511 fish in 1983 (Mills 1984). Mills (1985) and Alt (1985) estimated the 1984 chinook salmon harvest at 922 and 1,000 fish, respectively.
