Executive Summary

From October 26, 2000 to April 30, 2001, an access point creel survey was conducted on LakeRevelstoke. The principal objectives were to assess the sport fishery on Lake Revelstoke, collectbiological data on fish species in the reservoir, and provide a baseline against which futurechange can be measured.

Random sampling was stratified by day type (weekend/holidays and weekdays), site location, andtime of day. Seven major access point sites were identified and assigned selection probabilitiesbased on previous summer surveys and current conditions.

32 angler interviews were conducted with anglers from B.C. comprising 97% of thosesurveyed. The average trip length was 3.09 hours with an average of 2.17 anglers and 2.17 rodsper boat. Most fishing on Lake Revelstoke was done from a boat (94%) with lures used duringall recorded fishing trips. Most fishing effort was directed towards rainbow and bull trout (91%).Average catch (all species) was 0.19 fish/angler, and the mean catch per unit effort (CPUE) was0.06 fish/hour with a mean harvest per unit effort (HPUE) of 0.03 fish/hour.

Eight mail in surveys were returned by the end of the winter with 88% of respondents residingin the Revelstoke area. The average trip length was 4.68 hours with an average of 2.13 personsper party. Seventy-five percent of fishing was done by boat and lures were used in all cases.Eighteen fish were caught representing 2.25 fish/angler and 0.048 fish/hour CPUE and 0.16fish/hour HPUE.

In order to capture the full extent of the sport fishery on Lake Revelstoke reservoir, future creelsurveys should be conducted over the March to November period as conditions permit. As withthe summer creel survey of 2000, the main concern expressed by anglers is a need for increasedConservation Officer presence in the area.

Introduction

An access point creel survey was conducted on Lake Revelstoke from October 2000 to April2001 to cover the fall, winter and spring months. Although summer creel surveys have beenconducted in previous years (Bray and Campbell 2000; Gazey 1994; R.L.&L. 1993), there hasnever been a survey of the reservoir fishery over the fall to spring period. The terms ‘winter’ or‘fall to spring’ used in this report refer to the October to April period.

The principal objectives of the study were to assess the fall to spring sport fishery on LakeRevelstoke, collect biological data on fish species in the reservoir, complement the summer 2000creel survey, and provide a baseline against which future change can be measured. Trends mayindicate underlying changes in the relative abundance of sport fish species in Lake Revelstokeand provide an indication of overall reservoir productivity.

Study Area

Lake Revelstoke is located on the Columbia River about 3 km north of the City of Revelstoke(Figure 1). Formed in 1984 with the completion of the Revelstoke Dam, Lake Revelstokestretches 128 km upstream to Mica Dam, averaging 0.9 km in width. The reservoir has a meandepth of 46 m and a surface area of 10 125 ha. As a run-of-the-river reservoir, Lake Revelstokeis subject to an annual drawdown of approximately 1.5 m with daily fluctuations in the order of0.15 m. Lake Revelstoke is easily accessible by paved road (Hwy 23 North) and is a popularrecreation area for local residents and tourists. It is the site of an active summer sport fishery andprovides angling opportunities for kokanee (Oncorhynchus nerka ), rainbow trout, bull trout(Salvelinus confluentus), burbot (Lota lota), and mountain whitefish (Prosopium williamsoni). The stablewater level and ease of access (both number of access points and variety of facilities) make theLake Revelstoke reservoir a unique resource to the region. A more detailed review anddiscussion of recreational facilities and opportunities is contained in the Lake RevelstokeReservoir Integrated Recreation Plan (Lake Revelstoke Reservoir Recreation Work Group 1996).

Methods

As no previous surveys have been conducted during the fall to spring period, this is considered apilot survey. A stratified random sampling access point design was used to set up the initialsampling schedule (Appendix I) which would be modified as conditions changed. Randomsampling was stratified by day type (weekend/holidays and weekdays), site location, and time ofday. Although the creel survey was originally intended to begin on October 1, 2000, difficultieswith hiring a contractor delayed the start until October 26, 2000. Any unused survey days wereallocated over the remainder of the survey period.

There are seven major access points to the lake in addition to twenty informal access locations,although during the winter months most of these are inaccessible due to snow conditions.Survey hours varied according to daylight length with longer hours being sampled during theautumn and spring. Scheduled survey locations were modified as snow conditions allowed.Some modification was made to the original schedule to avoid snowstorms when weatherconditions were not safe for fishing or travelling along the highway. Actual days sampled arecontained in Appendix I.

Survey SitesThe seven access points surveyed during this study were: 5 Mile Creek, Martha Creek, CarnesCreek, Downie Loop (Sandy Point), Downie Gravel Pits, Downie R.V. Resort, and BigmouthCreek (Figure 1). Informal sites were surveyed for use where possible when travelling betweensurvey locations.

Angler InterviewsAnglers were interviewed at the completion of their fishing trip as they returned to the accesspoint. A sample of the creel survey forms are included in Appendix II. When possible, allanglers returning to the access point during the sample period were interviewed. The time andduration of the fishing trip were recorded, as were the catch and harvest. Angler demographics,angling methods and biological data (length and weight) on fish were also recorded. Scalesamples were taken from rainbow trout and tissue samples (tip of caudal fin) of bull trout werecollected and preserved in 95% ethanol.

In an attempt to reach as many anglers as possible, mail in survey forms were left at vehicleswhen the creel clerk would not be available when the anglers returned. Mail in survey formswere also available at two fishing/outdoor stores in Revelstoke as well as at the Downie R.V.Resort. A draw prize reward was offered as incentive to return as many mail in cards as possibleby the end of May.

Results

Angler CharacteristicsDuring the survey, 32 angler interviews were conducted. A total of 26 different anglers wereinterviewed with 6 repeat contacts. Adult anglers between 18-65 years of age contributed 81% tothe total anglers interviewed while seniors represented 7% and youth represented 12.5% each(Table 1). Residents of Revelstoke accounted for 97% of the anglers in the survey. Eight mail incards were returned representing 17 anglers. Fifteen (88%) of these anglers were fromRevelstoke.

Trip CharacteristicsThe average trip length was 3.09 hours with an average of 2.16 anglers and 2.16 rods per boat.Most fishing on Lake Revelstoke was done from a boat (94%). Fishing from shore accountedfor only 2 (6%) of the recorded trips.

Average trip length for mail in surveys was 4.68 hours with an average of 2.13 anglers per trip.The majority of trips were by boat (75% with two (25%) trips reported from shore. Lures wereused during all recorded fishing trips.

Most angler interviews occurred in March and April (94%). Mail in survey cards, however, werealmost evenly split between November and April trips.

Fishing Effort During Other MonthsOver half of the anglers surveyed said that they fish year round on Lake Revelstoke with 57%saying they would fish in February, 60% in January and over 60% in the rest of the wintermonths. Rainbow trout was the primary target species of 70% (Table 2) of this anticipatedangling effort with bull trout second at 44%.

Discussion

The winter 2000-2001 creel study was undertaken to provide baseline data of the fall to springfishery on Lake Revelstoke. As there has never before been a survey done on the reservoir atthis time of year there is no way to determine changes or trends that have occurred since theconstruction of the reservoir in 1984. As a pilot survey, these results can be used for planningfuture creel surveys for the winter period.

Local residents currently make up almost all of the winter anglers on Lake Revelstoke and adults(18-65 years) make up the majority of enthusiasts at this time of year. This is not surprising asthe weather can be a quick determining factor on whether people can go fishing at this time ofyear. There were many days over the winter when the weather was not conducive to fishing ortravelling along Highway 23 N. These days were avoided during the survey whenever possible,especially during December, January, and February. High winds are also a factor on thereservoir and more than one angler was seen arriving at the boat launch at 5 Mile and turningback home due to the high winds. Despite eight sampling days in November, no anglers wereencountered likely due to bad weather for much of the time. Five of the sample days wererecorded as being cold and wet with snow or slush conditions on the highway.

As the winter progressed, access sites along the reservoir were closed off due to snowconditions. The main winter access point was at the Downie ferry launch as this was ploughedout for use. However, the ferry had to be in use in order for people to launch boats fromtrailers and ferry use was unpredictable. The ferry operator reported three or four parties thatused the ferry landing during January and February, before access to the 5 Mile boat launch wasavailable.

The winter of 2000/01 was unusually cold and dry for this region. There was much ice on thereservoir from north of the Goldstream River for much of the winter and the Downie Arm wasfrozen until early April. The creel clerk saw only one group of anglers ice fishing, though theirvehicle was not found and no interview was conducted. According to the residents at theDownie R.V. Resort there were several parties that did ice fish in the Downie Arm duringJanuary and February.

No interviews were conducted at the Bigmouth launch as the area was snowed in all winter.There were, however, snowmobile tracks in this area leading to the lake and it was reported byan employee of the highways department that there were quite often people there whosnowmobiled in to the reservoir to fish.

Five Mile boat launch was ploughed out in early March greatly increasing the popularity ofangling. Most of the anglers commented that if the area was ploughed out all winter long theywould be out more frequently. A light snowpack meant that Carnes Creek was the next site tobecome accessible for boat launching in the early spring. A small number of local residentspersevered and fished all winter, hauling a small boat over the snow banks to reach the reservoir.

Low returns on mail in survey cards are not unexpected although the cards did indicate anglingactivity in November that was missed by on site interviews. The cards that were returned had amuch higher average catch success than interviews conducted personally. Catch cards are

7

usually biased towards successful anglers (Pollock et al 1994) and are used mostly forcomparative purposes.

The amount of angling activity on Lake Revelstoke during the winter is much less in comparisonto the summer period and is made up almost entirely of Revelstoke residents. Fishing in the fallto spring months could increase during years of low snowfall or warm winters or if access pointswere made more available.

Bull trout were the most commonly caught species during this survey with 12 fish caught andseven kept. This compares to a total of 18 bull trout recorded in the summer 2000 creel surveyconducted between May and August 2000 in Lake Revelstoke. The proportion of kept bull trout(58%) was slightly higher than during the summer creel survey results (44%). The summermonths on Lake Revelstoke reservoir are dominated by a kokanee fishery (Bray and Campbell2000) with anglers concentrating on bull trout and rainbow trout in the fall and spring.

Lake Revelstoke reservoir is a difficult waterbody to survey with limited funds as a result of itssize and number of access locations. The stratified random sampling design, however, workswell when sites are normally accessible and will allow for comparison creel surveys in futureyears. In order to capture the full extent of the sport fishery on Lake Revelstoke reservoir,future creel surveys should be conducted over the March to November period as conditionspermit. Angling during the winter months is likely to remain infrequent unless more access isnot provided.

As with the summer survey, the main concern expressed by anglers during this creel was theneed for increased surveillance by conservation officers of fishing activities in the area.
