These reports study the sport fishery for cutthroat trout in the Lakelse watershed. They include a description of the study area, the resident species, angler effort and success, angler distribution, and cutthroat trout life history.

The purpose of this study was to estimate the size of the spawning population of steelhead trout in Babine River, a tributary of the Skeena River located in West Central B.C.

This report summarizes the results of this creel census and provides details of age and growth of rainbow trout stocked in a barren lake.

Natural Resource Stewardship Monitoring and Assessment Reports are a summary of existing resource value monitoring and assessment information for a given geographic area. Data in this report has been arranged into the following categories: fish and water,...

During the months of September, October, and November of 1975, a creel survey and catch sampling program was conducted on the Kispiox River to gather information on the steelhead fishery including angler origin, effort, methods used, and success. Scale...

This study had the following objectives: provide a source upon which the habitat protection section of the fish and wildlife branch could base protection guidelines, provide Northwood with an assessment of fishery values and related habitat which would be...

The prime purpose for this study was to determine if the number of steelhead kelts caught in a tidal gill net sockeye salmon fishery could be reduced. Subsequently, the objectives were expanded to generate information on steelhead population size, patterns...

The setting of water quality objectives in priority basins in British Columbia began in 1982. By the end of 2002, the Ministry of Water, Land, and Air Protection had set water quality objectives in 51 areas or basins and updated them throughout the...

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the sub-lethal impacts and survival of wild steelhead following C&R angling. Steelhead were assessed for the presence of the righting reflex (an effective and non-invasive proxy for stress and mortality...

This operational plan is the initial product of a partnership between the Office of the Wet’suwet’en and the Province of British Columbia to develop a water monitoring and assessment system for the recently established Morice Water Management Area (MWMA).

The Morice LRMP provides policy direction on the management of land and resources in the Morice LRMP area, and provides direction for the establishment of landscape level legal objectives. There are four main sections to the plan: General Management...

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.

A creel census was conducted on the Morice River steelhead fishery during Autumn, 1976. Objectives of the study were two-fold: to collect detailed information on angler origin, angler distribution in the fishery, effort, success, and tackle preferences; and...

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...

This report summarizes past fish inventory efforts and results in context with data collected during re-sampling to present a comprehensive picture of fish distribution in the upper Peter-Aleck drainage.

The purpose of this project was to compile existing fisheries information relating to fish species under provincial jurisdiction and, where appropriate, add the information to the FISS database. Additionally, as part of the project, an overview of fisheries...

Designated water uses for Smithers Lakes included drinking, recreation, aquatic life, irrigation, livestock and industrial use. Water quality objectives were set in 1985 to protect these designated uses, and this report summarizes levels of attainment in...

This report outlines results from three years of RCA model development for the Skeena Region. It includes the development of standard methods for collecting and analyzing data for use in the RCA for bio monitoring in the Skeena region, results of...

This project was implemented to assess fish passage at culvert-bearing stream crossings. These assessments were carried out at culvert crossings installed on fish-bearing streams on roads primarily constructed prior to the implementation of the Forest...

This survey collected information about the fish species that are present in McQuarrie Lake, as well as information about the physical characteristics of the lake. This included oxygen and temperature profiles, water chemistry data, obstructions,...
