Summary
Description
Nearly three thousand angler days of effort was estimated to have been spent on the Togiak River in 1984. Effort was clearly dominated by the professional guiding operators 71 while the recreational private sector made up the balance 29. Fishermen caught eight species of fishes with Arctic char and coho salmon comprising the largest component of the catches. Most anglers fishing the Togiak apparently subscribe to a selfimposed catch and release philosophy. This was evidenced by the small fraction 9.7 of the total catch being ki11ed and kept. Coho salmon were the most likely fish to be kept by anglers.
