This report was constructed based on events that occurred during the author's two week practicum while working with the Penticton Conservation Officers. The author was exposed to creel censuses, which are a complete check of the sport fishing in an area. The annual creel census is beneficial for information on 1) the quality of sport fishing, 2) fishing pressure in man-hours, 3) characteristics of the fishery, and 4) for collecting a variety of miscellaneous data.
