A Survey of Zymoetz (Copper) River Steelhead Anglers in 1999
The Zymoetz (Copper) River in the Skeena Region of northwestern British Columbia (B.C.) is well known for providing a high quality steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) recreational fishery. In 1990, the province of B.C. implemented a Classified Waters system to... -
A Survey of Upper Babine River Steelhead Anglers during the Classified Waters...
The Babine River of the Skeena Region is well known for providing a high quality steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) recreational fishery. In 1990, the province of B.C. implemented a classified waters system to protect such high quality angling experiences on... -
Value of the Fisheries Resources in the Bulkley River System
The purpose of this report is to provide an indication of the net economic value of the fisheries stocks in the Bulkley river system. This is done by assessing current and future values of recreational, commercial and, to some degree, Indigenous fishing... -
The Sports Fishery for Cutthroat Trout at Lakelse Lake
For the past 15 years, Lakelse Lake has supported an active sport fishery for cut-throat trout. Since 1950 the Fisheries Research Board of Canada has kept records of this fishery in connection with its investigations on the ecology of the sockeye salmon of... -
The Return of Sockeye Salmon Marked at Babine and Lakelse Lakes
The marking of young migrant salmon by removing certain fins is a well-established practice. The recapture of such individuals may provide information on times and routes of migration; the degree to which fish return to their "home" streams or "wander"... -
Summaries of The Moricetown Falls Steelhead and Coho Release Project
Steelhead and coho returning to the Bulkley and Morice rivers pass through Moricetown between late July and late September. The "early" component of this steelhead run, and the entire upper-Bulkley and Morice River coho runs, are severely depressed as a... -
Steelhead Migration Behaviour and Timing as Evaluated from Radio Tagging at t...
This study is a continuation of radio telemetry work conducted previously. The purpose of this study was to further refine stock specific run timing for steelhead within the Skeena River watershed. A secondary objective was to obtain migration rate data. -
MILAP Creel Census, Lakelse Lake, 1986
The following material describes a creel survey conducted during April-October, 1986 on Lakelse Lake as part of a Canada Employment and Immigration sponsored employment opportunity program (Modified Industrial Labour Adjustment Program or "MILAP"). T h e... -
Juvenile Coho Salmon and Steelhead Assessment of Lower Toboggan Creek, Septem...
Juvenile sampling and habitat assessment was conducted in the lower three kilometers of Toboggan Creek from September to November, 1998. The lower two kilometers of the stream is of lower habitat quality (higher gradient, greater velocity, little cover)... -
Commercial Interceptions of Steelhead Trout in the Skeena River: Radio Teleme...
Radio transmitters were placed in 102 Skeena River steelhead during the summers of 1978 and 1979 in order to determine time of entry of specific stocks into the estuary and their potential interception by the commercial gillnet fishery. -
Commercial Interceptions of Steelhead Trout in the Skeena River - A Prelimina...
Test fishing at Tyee was conducted by Fisheries and Marine Service from the first week in June until the last week in August, using standardized drift gillnet sets to monitor the timing and abundance of salmon. -
Biological Assessment of Skeena River Coho Salmon
This paper provides data on juvenile densities throughout the Skeena watershed in the year following record low escapements and documents the responses in escapement to the conservation measures taken in 1998. For the Babine Lake coho aggregate, advice is... -
A Survey of Morice River Steelhead Anglers in 2004
Morice River steelhead anglers were surveyed during the 2004 Classified Waters Period using a combination of interviews and aerial counts. During the early Classified Waters Period, fishing was restricted to fly fishing only above Lamprey Creek, and the... -
A Survey of Kispiox River Steelhead Anglers in 2001
The Kispiox River in the Skeena Region of northwestern British Columbia (B.C.) is well known for providing a high quality steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) recreational fishery. In 1990, the province of B.C. implemented a Classified Waters system to protect... -
A Risk Assessment Model for Skeena River Sockeye Salmon
This paper presents a risk assessment simulation model for Skeena River sockeye salmon harvested in marine and in-river fisheries in northern British Columbia. This paper also provides production and stock status background for Skeena River sockeye lakes.... -
A Life History Model for Assessing Alternative Management Policies for Depres...
Population and fishery dynamics are modelled to assess performance of alternative harvest policies for chinook that spawn in western North America. The sensitivity of model performance to variations in stock productivity and patterns of environment... -
A Biological Assessment of the Coho Salmon of the Skeena River, British Colum...
This assessment covers coho salmon of the Skeena River. The status of coho populations grouped by sub-regions is presented, and recommendations are made for the further development of an assessment program for Skeena and other North Coast coho stocks. -
1999 Lower Skeena River Sport Catch Monitoring Programs
The objectives of this study were to monitor the encounter rates of all species landed by angles in each fishery, report and assess the gear used in the fisheries, and assess the release condition of all salmon, with an emphasis on coho.
