Audience:  Government and Public

The fish counting fence on Toboggan Creek near Smithers BC was in operation from April 7 to June 23 1998 for steelhead enumeration. This is the sixth consecutive year of operation. Stream discharge and water temperature, fish length, sex, and age data were collected and fish tagged as part of a mark recapture program. A population estimate of 377 adult steelhead above the fence was calculated based on the tagging program. Female fish were found to be significantly larger than males in this year, and a trend of decreasing size over time is suggested by the historic and present data. The sex ratio indicates that, for the first time since sampling began females outnumber males. The 1998 data are compared with the previous five years and recommendations regarding future sampling are presented.
