Enumeration of Adult Steelhead in the Upper Sustut River

Th objectives of the enumeration program were to index the Upper Sustut river steelhead population, examine the sex, number, growth, and size distribution of previously tagged steelhead, examine the effect of water height and temperature on steelhead migration, examine the number of gill net marked steelhead and the distribution of gill net marked fish throughout the run, examine the relative run timing of male and female steelhead, and qualitatively confirm the effectiveness of methods developed in previous years that were implemented to reduce stress and incidental mortality of fish handled at the Sustut Fence.
