A survey investigating the fish and especially the Steelhead values of the small feeder creeks of the Morice River was conducted from August 6 to 15, 1975. From the study of the tributaries, the following conclusions can be drawn. Many of the tributaries of the Morice are very small. Their main impotance to fisheries is that anadromous fish rear in the still water in the mouths of the creeks. The small tributaries also have resident populations of cutthroat and Dolly Varden. The larger tributaries are important rearing if not spawning creeks for steelhead trout. Smolts were taken from each of these creeks. Because of the lack of spawning area in tributaries many steelhead must be mainstem spawners. Excellent spawning areas exist along the main river especially in side channels. Recommendations are also made in this report regarding further work and road construction and maintenance.
