The purpose of this report is to outline results of the 1983 steelhead fry recruitment monitoring program in the upper Bulkley system. The conclusion is that a larger fry population existed in 1983 than in 1981 or 1982. This data will serve as valuable background information when further knowledge of adult steelhead utilization of the upper Bulkley is gained. These data will be put into the context of the entire Bulkley River system when further stream population monitoring results become available.
