Description: During the period 3 July to 15 August 1994, abundance, composition, and selected fishery statistics were estimated for Dolly Varden Salvelinus malma (Walbaum) on the Anchor River. A total of 17,259 Dolly Varden were counted through a weir located 1.5 km upstream from salt water on the Anchor River. This Dolly Varden immigration is the third highest total adult return documented since this study was begun in 1987. The number of deaths due to angling appears much lower than from "natural" causes. Although anglers appear to be practicing more hook and release fishing when pursuing Dolly Varden, they continue to select fish of spawning size for harvest.
