Adult Steelhead Studies in the Upper Sustut River 1992

Steelhead studies were conducted in the upper Sustut River during the late summer and fall 1992. The objectives of the studies were to determine the time of arrival, abundance, and migration behaviour of steelhead and to assess the upper Sustut River's suitability as an index stream for upper Skeena steelhead stocks. As well, potential steelhead enhancement opportunities and the extent of First Nations fisheries in the upper river were evaluated.
