*'''Visitor Use and Experience'''
*Visitor Experience as it relates to fisheries, include opportunities to fish for rainbow trout in GCNRA's Glen Canyon Reach, which has been referred to as '''[[GCDAMP- Blue Ribbon Trout Fishery| Blue Ribbon]]''' by the State of Arizona, and to fish for rainbow and brown trout and a variety of non-native introduced fish species in the main stem Colrado River and some tributaries in GCNP.  Most angling in GCNP occurs in or near Bright Angle Creek and Phantom Ranch, particularly in fall and spring (NPS 2006c)
