Report abstract: From November 1, 1985 to May 26, 1986, 148 adult steelhead were captured by study participants in Pallant Creek on the Queen Charlotte Islands. One hundred and forty three were tagged with anchor tags. Of these, 38 were recaptured once, and 3 were recaptured twice. Five fish were recaptured from the previous years study. Of the total fish tagged, 67 (47%) were taken in March, with lesser numbers in December (13, or 9%), January (21, or 15%), and in February and April (5%). Sixty fish (42%) were taken in Zone 6, or the downstream reach of the river. Two-thirds of the recaptures were taken within the original tagging zone. Twenty seven of the 41 recaptures (66%) were taken within
20 days of their original tagging date. The time lag between first capture and first recapture ranged from 0 to 163 days. The five fish which were recaptured from the former season were all taken close to their original tagging date. Sex ratio favoured females slightly over males. The dominant age groups were 3.2 (33.3%), 3.3 (26.7%), 4.2S1
(20%), 4.3 (13.3%) and 4.2SS1 (6.7%). Average fork length was 71.6 cm and ranged from 43.2 to 91.4 cm. Two-and-three-ocean males averaged
66.0 and 76.9 cm respectively, while females of similar ages averaged 69.6 and 75.7 cm respectively. Three different multiple sample
population estimation techniques calculated 374, 365 and 435 adults steelhead in Pallant Creek during the study. Results and the fishery are discussed.
