Mark-recapture experiments were conducted to estimate abundance of cutthroat trout Oncorhynchus clarki in Florence, Turner, and Young lakes in Southeast Alaska in 1994. Baited minnow-type traps and hook and line were used to capture fish during sampling trips, Florence Lake was sampled four times between April 23 and June 12, 1994, and between July 12 and Turner Lake was sampled four times between September 8. Two sampling trips were used to estimate abundance in Young Lake; the first from June 6 through June 9, 1994, the second from September 15 through September 17, 1994. The abundance of cutthroat trout in Florence Lake was an estimated 10,787 (SE = 674) fish > 180 mm fork length; in Turner Lake abundance was an estimated 2,107 (SE = 148) fish > 180 mm fork length, and abundance in Young Lake an estimated 1,562 (SE = 185) fish > 180 mm fork length.
