In the fall of 1977 B.C. Fish and Wildlife crew went into the Sustut system to gather life history information on steelhead. Due to recent management and enforcement concerns, a general reconnaissance survey was again mounted in the fall of 1983 to create a higher enforcement profile, and to collect biological data on Sustut steelhead.
The report is 15 pages long and contains maps and photographs.

The Sustut River system has long been known for its run of large summer steelhead trout (Salmo gairdneri). Angling pressure has been relatively light due to the remoteness of the system although in the early 70s the construction of the British Columbia Railway (B.C.R.) grade, mining roads and associated landing strips created new access and therefore increased angling pressure (Fig. 1). Because of the new access, a regulation banning angling in any waters above the Bear-Sustut junctions - including Bear River and all tributaries and lakes - was instituted to protect this fragile stock. There has been an angling guide operating on the river for 17 years with two others starting operations in 1984. In the fall of 1977 B.C. Fish and Wildlife crew went into the Sustut system to gather life history information on steelhead. Due to recent management and enforcement concerns, a general reconnaissance survey was again mounted in the fall of 1983 to create a higher enforcement profile, and to collect biological data on Sustut steelhead.
