Report abstract: An annual steelhead tagging and life history study was initiated on Pallant Cr., Queen Charlotte Islands in 1981. This report documents results obtained during the 1987-88 winter fishery. Between Oct. 20 and May 15, 160 steelhead were tagged, of which 36 were recaptured once, while 5 and 1 were recaptured 2 and 3 times respectively. An additional 8 fish from previous study seasons were recaptured. Fifty nine percent of the catch was taken from the upper 1.1 km of the river during Dec. and March. Time between initial capture and recapture ranged from 1 to 121 days and averaged 42 days. Seventy-two percent of recaptures occurred within the zone of original capture. The likelihood of recapture was considerably greater for early season tagged fish. Steelhead recaptured in this study from previous seasons were taken close to their original tagging date 1 or 2 years earlier. The dominant age group was 3.3 (46.3%) followed by 4.3 (20.4%), 3.2 and 4.2 (11.1% each), 3.1S1 (3.7%) and 3.2S1 and 4.2S1 (1.9% each). Fresh water age was dominated by 3. (63%) and 4. (33%) while ocean ages 2 and 3 accounted for 25.9 and 70.4% respectively. The total population was estimated at 466 fish.
