This report describes the telemetry studies of summer run steelhead trout, conducted at five locations in the Skeena River watershed during the summer of 1978. Detailed discussions of equipment and capture methods are included. Seven steelhead were radio tagged on the lower Skeena River. Three of the four fish later found were in the Babine River, and the fourth was in the Zymoetz River. This adds to the evidence
indicating that individual stocks of Upper Skeena steelhead move through the peak of the commercial fishery in the lower Skeena River (Chudyk and Narver, M.S. 1976). The tagged fish were caught in the lower Skeena in late July early August, hence they would have moved through the fishery at Tyee during the period of heaviest gillnet harvesting. It also indicates that Babine River
steelhead are one of the stocks which are subjected to commercial fishing interceptions. Conclusions drawn from a sample of only seven steelhead are of course statistically weak. It would be more useful to add the results to existing evidence, and follow with a second year of study which hopefully will be dealing with a larger sample.
