BLB AND NOP ABUNDANCE WAS HIGH. GILLNET CATCHES OF BLB WERE 30 TIMES THE LOCAL MEDIAN LEVELS, WHILE NORTHERN PIKE CATCHES WERE OVER 9 TIMES THE LOCAL LEVELS. THREE YEAR CLASSES OF NOP WERE SAMPLED WITH 84% OF THE AGED FISH BEING AGE III. NOP GROWTH WAS SLOW FOR THE LOCAL AREA. TRAPNET CATCHES OF NOP, BLB, YEB, AND PMK WERE ABOVE LOCAL MEDIAN ABUNDANCE. BLB TRAPNET CATCHES WERE OVER 36 TIMES THE LOCAL MEDIAN LEVELS. BLG AND BLC TRAPNET CATCHES WERE BELOW LOCAL MEDIAN ABUNDANCE. HOWEVER AVERAGE SIZE WAS GOOD. THE PSD FOR BLG AND BLC WAS 84 AND 94 RESPECTIVELY. SHORELINE SEINING CONFIRMED YOY PRODUCTION OF NOP, BLB, PMK, BLG, LMB, AND CARP.
