Chapman, Doris, Augier, Pinkut and Taltapin lakes were sampled during the spring of 2002 for lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush). Various gill netting techniques were applied to capture lake trout and post hoc evaluation of netting efficiency was conducted. One hour to one and a half hour daytime sets with 90m daytime net sets recorded the highest lake trout per unit catches. Spatial and gear biases were noted for lakes sampled and hindered between lake comparisons for lake trout abundance.

The goal of the 2002 Skeena Region lake char sampling project was to assess the status of small lake (Augier, Chapman, Pinkut, Taltapin and Doris lakes) lake char populations identified as potentially experiencing lake char harvest pressure. Project objectives include: 1) evaluating the effectiveness of various netting techniques; 2) develop regional lake char population assessment techniques and status indices; 3) compare current assessment results to those collected in past assessments; 4) evaluate the sustainability of current lake char harvest regulations; and, 5) recommend strategic regulation changes for the conservation of the Regions lake char stocks.
