During the winter of 1941–42, measurements and scale samples were collected from sport and commercial catches of steelhead trout (Salmo gairdnerii Richardson) caught in Tillamook County, Oregon. The commercial fish were taken in gill nets. It was found that the angler took both smaller (11.25–34.5 inches, fork length) and younger fish (2–5 years old) on the average, than did the nets (21.5–36 inches, fork length; 3–9 years old). The angler also took a higher proportion of females (1.56 females to 1 male) than did the nets (1.35 females to 1 male).
