Methods:	Only lake trout were captured from Lake NE14 using experimental gill nets. The nets were in the water for six days in 1986 (13 August to 19 August), four days in 1987 (3 Aug. to 7 Aug.), and six days in 1989 (23 June to 26 June, and 2 July to 5 July). All fish were sacrificed. The lengths, weight, otoliths, and sex/maturity of each fish (if known) was recorded as well whether or not the stomach, pectoral fin or gonads were taken. Otoliths, stomachs, pectoral fins, and gonads were brought back to Duluth for possible analysis. Sampling Description. None
