In table 52 and figure 1 3 is shown estimated 

 sport fishery catch, all species connbined in 

 numbers of fish and weight in pounds, by sec- 

 tion, by facility, by month. Table 53 and figure 

 14 present these data as summaries by sea- 

 sons. Generally, the catch in the Southern 

 Section is consistently higher than that for the 

 Northern Section, both by months and sea- 

 sons. 



As seen in figure 14, greatest numbers and 

 weights of fish occurred in the spring, lowest 

 values appeared in the summer, and those for 

 the fall fell midway between. From informa- 

 tion gathered during interviews with fisher- 

 nnen, bait dealers, and camp operators and our 

 few observations in January and February, we 

 are convinced that the winter catch at least 

 equals that for the spring.
