          Here’s a link to the pdf version of the survey form that matches the online form. We developed it in conjunction with the WDFW and have been using it for many years. It was based on the original high lake report card they used to use starting back in the sixties.

          If you submit surveys online then you can access all the surveys you’ve submitted. It makes a great diary of all your trips.

          [edit]Sorry about the copy paste link. I’m not sure why the bbcode isn’t working here.

            Thats where i got a lot of the stuff i put on my report. I just figured out how to do the online survey and will be doing that from now on too. But i also like to keep my own more stensive survey.

              More extensive surveys are always better. Be sure to incorporate that extra info into the comments in your online version.
