Anglers who fish a couple of North Country rivers may be asked to voluntarily participate in the survey.
The river creel survey is taking place on the Saranac and Boquet rivers through November 15th according to the Department of Environmental Conservation. Collected data will include an angler’s preferred target species, the number of fish caught and harvested, and the angler’s satisfaction with the salmon fishery. The data is part of Lake Champlain Fish and Wildlife Management Cooperative’s salmon assessment and restoration efforts. This is the third year of information gathering at the Lake Champlain tributaries.
