These reports summarize the reconnaissance level fish and fish habitat inventories for various locations along the Bulkley River. Sensitive habitats and barriers are discussed, and fish summary tables and images are provided for the creeks examined within...

For this project, existing fish passage information in the Bulkley River watershed located near Smithers, British Columbia, was reviewed in order to prioritize and rank culverts for further assessment and/or rehabilitation. A detailed review and...

Land use activities have had a significant impact on many of the tributaries within the central Bulkley River watershed. Preliminary air photo analysis has indicated that high value fish habitat has been moderately to severely impacted in a large proportion...

In recent years, studies in the upper Bulkley River upstream of Houston have noted elevated levels of bacteria, nutrients and attached algae (periphyton). A 1992 fisheries study in the upper Bulkley at Houston found fish species composition was dominated by...

An overwintering study was conducted over three winters (November 1998 to March 2001) in the Upper Bulkley and Toboggan Creek watersheds in north-central British Columbia. The study area includes the lower portion of the Upper Bulkley watershed upstream of...

The Bulkley River upstream of the Morice River has some of the most intense public and private land use in the Skeena watershed. The purpose of this assessment was to document human-induced modifications to floodplain habitat and river channelization,...

The Upper Bulkley Fish and Aquatic Review project produced a set of analyses focused on select pressure and quantity indicators as determined by the Wild Salmon Policy Strategy 2. Pressure Indicators included are Road Density, Riparian Disturbance, and...

In 1978 the Bulkley Valley Steelhead Society obtained a $1,000 grant under the Salmonid Enhancement Program to construct and operate a counting fence and fish trap on Toboggan Creek. From September 1 to October 27, a total of 164 pinks, 817 coho and 8...

Telkwa Coal Limited (TCL) is proposing to develop the Tenas Project (the Project), a surface coal mine designed to produce approximately 15.0 million tonnes of washed metallurgical coal product at about 0.750 million saleable tonnes per year to be used in...

Recent reports of serious declines of the rainbow trout sport fishery in this region have created a need for information on the annual recruitment and relative species composition at these lakes. The most recent concern has been an outburst of beaver...

In 1997, the British Columbia Conservation Foundation (BCCF) was contracted by the Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) to produce a map that would allow licensees and contractors to direct their referrals more efficiently. DFO was receiving referrals...

Sixty-eight tributaries to the Bulkley River were examined by topographic maps and air photo interpretation to assess the degree and nature of the impacts on these streams by transportation and hydro-electric powerline corridors and...

The purpose of this report is to outline results of the 1983 steelhead fry recruitment monitoring program in the upper Bulkley system. The conclusion is that a larger fry population existed in 1983 than in 1981 or 1982. This data will serve as valuable...

Reconnaissance level fish and fish habitat inventories in 14 watersheds in the Bulkley Forest District. This report summarizes historical and field data collected in the Nichyeskwa watershed.

The purpose of this survey was to provide essential fish and fish habitat information required for resource planning and making management decisions for Coppermine Lake. Fish sampling was conducted by means of set lines, gillnets, and minnow traps set in...

The objective of this project was to conduct a Reconnaissance (1:20,000) Fish and Fish Habitat Inventory in several watersheds within the Bulkley River (BULK) watershed group. These inventories have a multi-phased approach with six phases required to...

These baseline studies cover the following topics with regards to the impacts of the Pacific Trail Pipeline: acid rock drainage and metal leaching, acoustic environment, air quality, archaeology, contaminated sites, fish and fish habitats, forestry,...

These reports summarize the results of field surveys conducted in 2006, 2007, and 2009. The project area is located approximately 300km west of Prince George. All streams are within the Upper Nechako Reservoir, Cheslatta Lake (CHES), Francois Lake (FRAN),...

An overview fish and fish habitat assessment in the sub-basins of the Mid-Bulkley Watershed that: determines what fish species are at risk to the impacts of poor land-use practices in the watershed; identifies areas of concern that need to be examined in...

In 2006, Gitksan Watershed Authorities was retained by the Pacific Salmon Commission to conduct an effectiveness monitoring in three Mid Skeena sub-basins: the Kispiox, Kitseguecla, and the Suskwa. This watershed restoration effectiveness monitoring...
