Skeena River Steelhead Stock- Assessment Program: 1994 Catch and Escapement M...
During 1994, a large scale stock-assessment program was implemented to determine the status of steelhead and coho populations in the Skeena River. Catches in commercial fisheries were to be monitored by means of a fishery observer program. Escapements were... -
Estimating the Abundance of Adult Steelhead in the Babine River Using Mark Re...
A mark recapture study was conducted by angling on the upper 20 kilometers of the Babine River in an attempt to estimate the abundance of overwintering adult steelhead. The initial tagging was conducted by fisheries staff and volunteers during the 1992... -
Babine Lake Creel Survey at Fulton and Pinkut Creeks in 1990
Total angler effort and rainbow trout catch at Fulton and Pinkut Creeks in Babine Lake was estimated from May 1 to June 9, 1990 to document the catch of mature or spawner size fish. At Fulton, anglers fished for 313 days (average length = 2.39 h) and caught... -
Toboggan Creek Coho Smolt Enumerations
The primary focus of the "Toboggan Creek Smolt Project" is to estimate the number of wild coho (0. kisutch) smolts leaving Toboggan Creek. Initiated in the spring of 1995, the study aimed to estimate wild coho populations of Toboggan Creek by comparison... -
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 Tagging Projects at Moricetown Canyon
The Wet'suwet'en Fisheries conducted an extensive coho and steelhead tagging program at Moricetown canyon in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2005, 2006, and 2007. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans will summarize coho data in a separate report. The analysis of... -
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. -
Radio Telemetry Investigations of Babine River Steelhead, Spring 1990
The Babine River ranks as one of the best wild steelhead rivers in the world. It is one of British Columbia's five Class I rivers; streams with this classification offer extremely valuable wilderness fishing opportunities. Despite the world-class status of... -
Observations on Cutthroat Trout of the Lakelse River System, 1986, and Implic...
Cutthroat trout contribute substantially to the Lakelse Lake-River sport fishery. This tagging study of cutthroat trout was undertaken during the May-November period of 1986 on the upper Lakelse River to improve the information base on which this expanding... -
Movements of Wild Summer Run Steelhead Tagged with Radio Transmitters in the ...
Radio telemetry was used for the second consecutive migration year to determine the proportion of wild, Babine River adult summer run steelhead migrating through the Department of Fisheries and Oceans' enumeration weir, near the outlet of Nilkitkwa Lake.... -
Movements of Summer Run Steelhead Trout Tagged with Radio Transmitters in the...
Radio telemetry was used to determine spawning locations of wild adult summer run steelhead in the Zymoetz River. Conventional angling methods were used to capture adult steelhead in the river during the Spring, prior to spawning. Radio transmitters were... -
Movements of Babine River Summer Run Steelhead Tagged with Surgically and Gas...
The primary purpose of this investigation was to assess whether fish behavior differed between the two implementation times and methodologies. The secondary objectives were to document steelhead movements, including those in the vicinity of the Department... -
Movement of Radio Tagged Steelhead in the Morice River Determined by Helicopt...
This project is part of the joint Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and BC Ministry of Environment program to reduce the incidental interception of steelhead bound for the Skeena River by 50%. Monitoring of key Skeena steelhead stocks will be... -
Lakelse River Steelhead: Summary of Current Data and Status Review, 1997
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... -
Kitwanga River Steelhead: Summary of Current Data and Status Review, 1997
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... -
Kitsumkalum River Steelhead: Summary of Current Data and Status Review, 1997
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... -
Distribution, Timing, and Numbers of Steelhead Returning to the Skeena Waters...
This report summarizes the data collected during the July to November 1995 period and describes the fate and timing information of steelhead movements to the end of November 1995. Fishwheels operated by the Kitselas Band Office were used to catch and apply... -
Coho Escapements in Upper Bulkley and Toboggan Creek Counting Fences
