This record is the continuation of a pilot project undertaken in the Central Coast (Areas 6-7-8-9-10) during the 1983, 1984, and 1985 salmon seasons. It was designed as an in-season management tool and as a record of the fishery and of the management...

This habitat report card is part of a 2013 project by ESSA Technologies that summarizes pressures on the habitat used by Skeena salmon Conservation Units (CUs) during their freshwater life history stages (migration, spawning and rearing), as well as their...

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...

The Watershed Restoration Program of British Columbia is a program whereby watersheds that have been damaged by past logging practices undergo restoration. The program involves a number of steps that commence with an overview study, followed by a detailed...

This report includes the fish and fish habitat assessment from the 1997 Level 2 assessment field survey.

The purpose of this report is to present background information and survey results for fish passage assessments conducted at Kispiox forestry road stream crossings. The Kispiox fish passage assessment is part of a larger regional effort to improve fish...

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...

B.C.'s Watershed Restoration Program (WRP) was implemented under the Province's Forest Renewal Plan in mid-1994 in response to a historical lack of mechanisms for ensuring rehabilitation of logging-impacted hill slopes, riparian areas, and 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...

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....

Steelhead trout are angled from the Zymoetz River, (locally known as the "Copper") near the City of Terrace on the west coast of British Columbia. The "Copper" was labeled as an "Everyman's River" by Pinsent and Chudyk. Recent studies (Imbleau M.S. 1974;...

This report summarizes fish and fish habitat values within the Copper River watershed and describes impacts to both the fisheries resource and riparian habitats regulating from forest development and harvesting activities. Recommendations for further...

In 1999, the Ministry of Environment, Lands, and Parks surveyed portions of the Upper Skeena River and Kispiox Rivers during September 1999 for juvenile steelhead and fry and parr abundance. This report summarizes the results of those surveys and provides a...

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...

These reports present the information found during the Toboggan Creek Watershed Restoration Project. This project assessed the historical background of the watershed, including a review of fish, fish habitat, impacts, and water quality. Furthermore, the...

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...

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...
