Triton Environmental Consultants Ltd. was retained by Pacific Inland Resources in partnership with the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks in Smithers to conduct reconnaissance level fish and fish habitat inventories in the Bulkley Forest District. This report summarzies the historical fisheries data collected by SKR Consultants Ltd and the field data collected by Trtion survey crews in working unit 8 which consists of part of the upper
Kiseguecla watershed, as well as the Trout, Corya, Boulder and John Brown watersheds. The objectives of the study were to describe fish distributions and habitat characteristics, and
to provide stream classifications according to the Forest Practices Code. Fish and fish habitat operational inventories consist of reconnaissance level surveys aimed at characterizing fish habitat and distribution, identification of fish and fish habitat that require special designation under the Forest Practices Code and new, reinterpreted, or augmented data to meet Forest Practices Code requirements for classification of areas. A total of 157 sites were sampled between July 25 and October 2 1996 and July 7 and September 20 1997.
Seventeen sites were classified as Not A Creek due to the lack of a defined channel. Fish were captured by electrofishing at 42 sites, the species sampled include Dolly Varden, bull trout cutthroat trout, rainbow trout, coho, sockeye, lake chub and an unidentified salmon species. A total of 33 sites were classified as S5 or S6, the basis for the non fish bearing status is summarized. This report
also includes recommendations for resampling.
