Welcome Anglers to our 2025 Creel Survey!

Welcome to all anglers of the Cheticamp River! We’re excited to host the 2025 Creel Survey once again and look forward to another great season on the water. This year’s survey is held in collaboration with Cape Breton Highlands National Park, and we’re pleased to offer all participants a chance to win a stay in one of the Park’s unique oTENTik accommodations.

While our primary focus in this creel survey is Atlantic salmon, we encourage you to collect any data available, irrespective of whether your fishing experience aligns with your anticipated results (e.g., if you’re fishing for salmon and end up catching a brown trout, we want to
hear about it!).

This survey will be conducted from June 1st - September 30th on the Chéticamp River!

Please use the following salmon age classes: grilse, and multi-sea winter.
At the end of each species, specify whether it was a landed fish or just hooked.

Please provide your contact information down below and fill out the survey!

Tight lines and happy angling!

Note: This data is being collected for our own research. Participants' names will not be made public, or attached to data and/or responses to interview questions.
