During late September early October 1980, a Fish and Wildlife crew conducted a preliminary examination of the Tahltan River to collect data on escapements and life history of the steelhead stocks.The Tahltan River is accessible to anadromous fish as far as the headwaters upstream of Tahltan Lake. In addition, many tributaries are accessible for part of their length. Time and cost constraints did not allow a detailed examination of all areas, but through a combination of flights and air photo interpretation, some useful information was obtained. From this study it was concluded that no regulation changes on the Tahltan River are required to protect the steelhead.There is evidence to indicate that the commercial gillnet fisheries on the lower Stikine may be dramatically affecting steelhead run timing, but data is weak. Steps have been taken to obtain more recent and refined data on this situation which should be added to this preliminary interpretation of existing data.
