Radio tagging studies were carried out on four Skeena River tributaries and one Nass River tributary in order to more fully understand the life history of summer run steelhead trout. During the fall of 1979, thirteen steelhead were tagged on the Cranberry River, nineteen on the Kispiox, seven on the Kitwanga, seventeen on the Zymoetz and three in Toboggan Creek.

Cranberry River, nineteen on the Kispiox, seven on the Kitwanga, seventeen on the Zymoetz and three in Toboggan Creek. In the Cranberry River the area near McKnight Creek was heavily used for wintering and spawning. In the Kispiox, a second year of tagging showed a marked increase in mainstem spawning from the previous year. Of the fish tagged in the Kispiox, 16 percent left and spawned in the Skeena River. The major spawning area in the Kitwanga was found to be between the lake and Moonlit Creek. In the Zymoetz River there was widespread movement of steelhead in and out to the Clore River. McDonnell Lake was again used for wintering by fish that spawn in the upper Zymoetz River. Toboggan Creek steelhead wintered in the Bulkley River and entered Toboggan to spawn in early May. Management and enhancement options as identified by the study are discussed.
