Notes:
A three day experiment compared angling returns for rainbow trout, Salmo gairdneri Richardson, using fly, spinner and worm fishing methods. The catches of these methods were most similar on the first day: 3.36/h, 2.61/h and 3.75/h for spinner, fly and worm fishing, respectively. Catch rates on subsequent days declined, but less so for worm fishing. Overall, the worm fishing method returned the highest catch rate and estimates of catch rates for a year on a trout fishery also indicated that this method returned the highest catch rate.
