Description: We conducted a postal survey of parties reserving U.S. Forest Service (USFS) recreational cabins located in cutthroat trout or steelhead systems in Southeast Alaska in 1993. The purpose of the survey was to collect information on trout catches, harvest, and effort from USFS cabins in Southeast Alaska. This report presents findings for that survey. The portion of the survey that targeted cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarki estimated that anglers spent a total of 21,454 hours to catch 27,948 cutthroat trout, 80 steelhead, 3,085 rainbow trout Oncorhynchus mykiss, 1,177 kokanee Oncorhynchus nerka, and 2,828 Dolly Varden Salvelinus malma. The portion of the survey that targeted steelhead trout Oncorhynchus mykiss estimated that anglers spent a total of 29,247 hours to catch 1,025 steelhead, 3,893 rainbow trout, 9,562 cutthroat trout, 1,278 kokanee, and 8,203 Dolly Varden.
