Methods:	The fish in 1987 were captured from lake NE15 using five-panel experimental gill nets (similar to the ones used in the 86MCDTLC.WK1 file). The fish from 1988 were caught on conventional hook and line gear. The date, fish number, sex, and species were recorded as well as the total length, fork length, standard length, and weight. Whether or not the pectoral fin and otolith was taken was recorded. Whether or not the fish was sexually mature along with the gonad weight was also recorded. Sampling Description. None
