Recreational angler's demographics, angling characteristics, angling methods and steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) catch rates were examined with an on-site roving survey of Kispiox River anglers during the classified waters period of September and October, 1997. In addition, anglers were asked about their perceptions of problems with the overall number of anglers, the number of boat-based anglers and the number of shore-based anglers and any other concerns they had on the Kispiox River.
