“Guided angler data in annual guide reports provide information on angler demographics, effort and catch for waters and over time. Angling guide reports for the Skeena watershed submitted for the 2007/2008 licence year were entered in the Angling Guide Management System (AGMS), a database developed by BC Environment which contained historical angling guide reports for the 1990/1991 to the 2001/2002 licence years. Data for the 2002/2003 to 2006/2007 and the 2008/2009 licence years are intended to be entered in future years. This report provides a general summary of the 2007/2008 angling guide reports, with some comparisons to historical data contained in AGMS.” –Except from the report’s Executive Summary
