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... -
An Inventory of Lars Lake and its Outlet and Inlet Streams
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... -
An Inventory of Old Man Lake and its Outlet and Inlet Streams
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... -
An Inventory of Swans Lake and its Outlet and Inlet Streams
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,... -
An Inventory of Gilmore Lake and its Outlet and Inlet Streams
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.... -
Zymoetz River Steelhead: Summary of Current Data and Status Review, 1997
The Zymoetz River arises in a chain of headwater lakes (McDonell, Dennis, and Aldrich lakes) 29 km southwest of Smithers, and flows 109 km to the confluence with the Skeena River. The river has two major tributaries; the Clore River and the Kitnayakwa... -
Upper Sustut, Lower Sustut, and Bear River Steelhead: Summary of Current Data...
This report summarizes the stock status, and current data available on, the upper Sustut, lower Sustut, and Bear River steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) populations. The upper Sustut and lower Sustut/Bear sub-populations differ markedly in their life-history... -
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... -
Telkwa Coal Project: Application for a Project Approval Certificate
The Application should be read in the context that it is the basis for the first major stage of the Environmental Assessment Process as it applies to new mine developments proposed for British Columbia. The purpose of the Application is to provide an... -
Surveys of Native Food Fisheries for Steelhead in the Skeena River System
Skeena River steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are subjected to commercial, native and sport fisheries as they migrate to their spawning areas. Standardized surveys are conducted to estimate fishing effort and catch in the commercial fishery (hail data, sales... -
Survey of Watson Lake and its Outlet Stream
Watson Lake was surveyed as a part of the Burns Lake-Houston small lakes project in which a total of 10 lakes were examined: Sunset, Gilmore, Swans, Lars, Old Man, McBrierie, Elwin, Watson, Day, and Bulkley lakes. The primary focus of this work was on... -
Survey of Bulkley Lake and its Inlet and Outlet Streams
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... -
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... -
Stream Inventory: Fenton Creek and Adjacent Tributaries 1997
This survey provides an assessment of fish presence/absence in Fenton Creek and its adjacent tributaries. It identifies stream gradients and reasons for obstructed fish passage, and identifies key habitat features that require special management attention.... -
Steelhead Trout Productivity and Stream Carrying Capacity for Rivers of the S...
The Skeena River contains the major proportion of British Columbia's summer-run steelhead trout. These fish are a highly-prized sports fish which are intercepted in commercial fisheries targeting mainly on sockeye and pink salmon. To manage steelhead more... -
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... -

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...
