An aquatic stream inventory was conducted in the Thautil River Watershed in the Morice Forest District during the summer and fall of 1996. This report presents an overview of the key results of the fish and habitat sampling program including fish distribution, abundance, and a comparison to historical data. As well, it identifies key habitats and patterns of habitat use by those fish species using the Thautil River. Detailed results for each tributary are included in Volume 2 (Stream Survey Cards) and on the 1:20,000 maps accompanying the report. Photodocumentation information is presented in Volume 3.
