Synopsis

A comparison between fly-fishing, spinning and short 51 mm and 25 mm gill nets showed that fly-fishing was the least selective method of sampling brook chary,Salvelinus fontinalis, and ouananiche,Salmo salar, in rapid sections of the Caniapiscau River, north central Quebec. Angling techniques had the added advantage of mobility which allowed rapids to be more evenly covered during sampling. Selectivity curves for the capture of brook chary by fly-fishing, spinning and a 51 mm mesh gill net are presented.
