Skeena River summer steelhead are harvested in commercial native and sport fisheries as they return from the Pacific ocean to their spawning areas each summer and fall. This report describes a study of 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 jig dipnet fishery on the Bulkley River. The objectives of the investigations were to provide information on the spatial and temporal distribution of fishing effort and to document catch with special reference to steelhead.
