Steelhead fry population monitoring has been conducted in the Bulkley/Morice River system since 1980. The first six years of monitoring (1980 to 1985) were done on a rather "piecemeal" basis, concentrating on several known important steelhead rearing areas (e.g., Owen, Lamprey, Buck and McQuarrie Creeks). For the first time in 1986, an attempt was made to cover the whole Bulkley/Morice system in a representative fashion. A total of 23 sample sites were located throughout the watershed, including sampling of previously established index sites where possible. All sampling was carried out by regional staff from August 18 to 29, 1986. Juvenile steelhead population estimates were conducted at 23 sites in the Bulkley/Morice system. The 2-catch removal method was applied to all sites. Water depth and velocity transect data were collected at all sites for WUA analysis. Data analysis includes comparison of fish densities with previous sampling at index sites, where appropriate, and comparisons of WUA adjusted fish den
