Audience:  Government and Public

Using radio tagged steelhead trout we describe the post-spawning or emigration movements of fish from the Skeena watershed over the spring of 1995 and 1996. Steelhead trout that had moved upstream the greatest distance to spawn, appeared to begin downstream movements earlier in the spring than emigrants that had a shorter distance to travel back to the ocean. Although some downstream movement occurred as early as the beginning of April, most emigration took place in May and June.
