Report summary: Skeena River steelhead (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are subjected to commercial, native and sport fisheries as they migrate to their spawning areas. Standardized surveys are conducted to estimate fishing effort and catch in the commercial fishery (hail data, sales slips) and the sport fishery (eg. Billings 1988). In contrast, little is known about impacts of the native food fishery. Limited unpublished data from Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and Ministry of Environment files, along with cursory surveys by Morrel et al. (1985) and Lough (M.S. 1988) form the extent of our present understanding of this fishery. Further study of the native food fishery and of steelhead catches in particular was conducted during 1989. The study involved two distinctly different areas and types of fisheries; part of the study focused on gillnetting on the mainstem Skeena, while the remainder was directed at the Moricetown Canyon gaff/dipnet fishery on the Bulkley River. The objectives of the investigations were: 1. to provide information on the spatial and temporal distribution of fishing effort; 2. to document catch with special reference to steelhead.
