Review of Resident Game Fish Life History and Abundance Information for Babine Lake

Babine Lake is the largest unimpounded lake entirely within the province of British Columbia, and likely receives more annual angler days than any other lake in Skeena Region. It is also the most important sockeye salmon nursery lake in the Skeena watershed, at present providing roughly 80% of the sockeye production in the Skeena system and thus supporting economically important commercial fisheries in the marine and freshwater environments.
