Surveys consisted of multiple run sampling with a 500-volt DC stream-side electrofisher. Survey sections were generally 250 ft in length and were conducted during the summer months (July-early August) when stream flow had subsided and brook trout young-of-year (YOY) became large enough to effectively sample. Note that YOY brook trout abundance is generally more variable than that of adult abundance.Forest Ecosystem Monitoring CooperativeCorrinaParnapycontentProviderBretLadagoprincipalInvestigatorLeeSimardprincipalInvestigatorTrout population surveys were conducted annually from 1997 through 2015 at 3 stations on the West Branch and 2 stations on Ranch Brook.
