To monitor stock status, the rainbow trout population of the Goodnews River was sampled from June 1993 through August 1994. A total of 570 rainbow trout was captured using hook and line gear. Lengths ranged from 226-625 mm, and ages from scales ranged from 2-9 years. The length and age frequency distributions of rainbow trout from the North Fork were significantly different from that of the Middle Fork. Fifteen flights relocated 18 of 21 radio tagged rainbow trout between October 18, 1993 and August 18, 1994. Most fish moved less than 10 km throughout the year.
