The report provides the results of Steelhead Stock Monitoring from 1988-2006 in the Bella Coola River and the implications for recovery of the population. The physical scope of the project is extensive, covering the limited portion of the Bella Coola watershed (910-290700) delineated by the known steelhead distribution (i.e. Bella Coola River mainstem, Atnarko River confluence to Stillwater Lake) including other anadromous portions of the primary (Nusatsum River, Sawmill Creek, Salloomt River, Noosgulch River, Burnt Bridge Creek) and the secondary networks (Camera Side-channel, Young Creek, Hotnarko River). Innovative and indirect techniques were applied for the purpose of confidently estimating or "qualifying" steelhead escapement in the Bella Coola River. Cost-effective surveys allowed useful biological reference points to be set for managing a wild population. Optimism remains that the steelhead population is positioned to fully recover once marine survival rate has rebounded.
