Skeena Fisheries Commission (SFC), in partnership with the Lax Kw’alaams Fisheries Program conducted a feasibility assessment to determine whether salmon productivity in the Kloiya River and Rainbow Lake watersheds could be improved by modifying a series of...

Recent reports of serious declines of the rainbow trout sport fishery in this region have created a need for more information on the annual recruitment and relative species composition of these lakes. The intent of this project was to survey fish...

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 intent of this project was to survey fish communities,...

Gilmore Lake was surveyed as part of the Burns Lake-Houston small lakes project in which a total of 10 lakes were examined. All of the lakes historically supported rainbow trout sport fisheries, but the fishery has declined over the last five to ten years....

Babine Lake is the largest unimpounded lake entirely within the province of British Columbia, and likely receives more annual angler days than any other lake in Skeena Region. It is also the most important sockeye salmon nursery lake in the Skeena...

In 1966 the Director of the Nanaimo Biological Station was requested by the Fisheries Research Board to prepare a report on research required to provide a basis for the enhancement of the salmon resource. This report summarizes the state of knowledge...

Stream inventories were conducted in select watersheds within the Kispiox Forest District. Information was collected on the biological and physical stream characteristics, fish species assemblage, and fish distribution. The purpose of the Reconnaissance...

The purpose of the Reconnaissance (1:20,000) Fish and Fish Habitat Inventory is to describe watershed-wide fish distributions and habitat characteristics for the project area.

A letter from W.E. Chudyk to the Ministry of Environment regarding the project outline for Lakelse Lake cutthroat trout enhancement opportunities. This project is geared to provide basic information on production capabilities for cutthroat trout in stream...

The steelhead population of Lakelse River is a major part of the recreational sport fishing opportunity for residents of the Terrace area as well as for visitors from around the world. Compared to other streams in the Terrace area, such as the Zymoetz and...

In 2005 and 2006, DFO worked with multiple stakeholders to develop the Lakelse Sockeye Recovery Plan in an attempt to halt the estimated 92% decline in this stock that was observed from around 1990 through 2002. The recovery plan identified stable sockeye...

A record for the proposal of the Lakelse Lake egg capsule incubation study. It is believed that poor stream habitats is the leading cause of the rapid decline to Lakelse Lake sockeye populations. With support from the Lakelse Lake Sockeye Recovery Team and...

This report provides basic information on production capabilities for cutthroat trout in streams tributary to Lakelse Lake and to thereby identify enhancement opportunities available to lake cutthroat populations in 1983-1984.

The steelhead population of Kitwanga River forms a potentially important part of the recreational sport fishing opportunity for residents of the Terrace, Kitwanga and Hazelton areas as well as for visitors from around the world. The Kitwanga is a relatively...

The steelhead population of Kitsumkalum River forms a major part of the recreational sport fishing opportunity for residents of the Terrace area as well as for visitors from around the world. The Kitsumkalum is a relatively cold water river with reasonably...

This report summarizes the status, and current data available on the Kispiox River steelhead population, and to provide recommendations for future work to fill in the gaps in terms of life-history and fisheries management considerations. Kispiox steelhead...
