Abstract

Little is known about the wild cutthroat trout fishery of Berry Creek and Owl Creek located in Grand Teton National Park. No baseline information has been gathered on fishing pressure, harvest, population structure or life history characteristics for stocks from either stream. The creeks have a reputation for quality cutthroat trout (Salmo clarki) fishing. Wild trout fisheries are highly susceptible to over-harvest and relatively little fishing pressure can cause stock composition to be dominated by subcatchable-sized fish.
