In the spring of 1983, a steelhead tagging study was undertaken on Deena Creek, Queen Charlotte Islands. One hundred and twenty-seven steelhead were tagged, by angling and beach seining during late March, April and May, of which only 12 were recaptured. Using multiple sample analysis techniques, population estimates of 625, 577 and 684 steelhead were calculated, range 336 to 1599 fish. Of the 16 age groups identified, 3.2 dominated and accounted for 40.5%. The large number of age groups was likely the result of high incidence of repeat spawners which accounted for 25.6% of the total. Over 83% of all steelhead sampled had spent 3 years in the stream prior to spending 1 (35%), 2 (83%) or 3 (7%) years in the ocean. The average length of steelhead sampled was 74.9 cm and ranged from 55 to 93 cm. These results and the sports fishery are discussed relative to other Queen Charlotte steelhead streams.
