NotesThe authors note significant declines in sea-run cutthroat trout in the Umpqua and Columbia Rivers. Additionally, they observe, "Recent creel surveys in two other coastal basins, the Alsea and Siuslaw, indicate that a substantial decline in the abundance of anadromous cutthroat has occurred in other areas. Catches of anadromous cutthroat in the 1990's are less than 10% of catches in the late 1960's in both the Alsea and Siuslaw basins." (from the Abstract)
