Following a review of existing and historical approaches to managing recreational fisheries for stream-dwelling trout and char, Skeena Region Fisheries Section staff initiated development of a new management strategy in 2013. The guiding principles of this strategy were that it be precautionary in nature, and consistent with Fisheries Program Goals of optimizing recreational fishing opportunities while ensuring conservation. Initial actions were the introduction of more precautionary harvest quotas non-retention for char, 1 per day between July 1 and October 31 for trout, and the initiation of steps to acquire additional population data (e.g. incidental catches of trout and char at salmon counting facilities. In addition, a conservation status and risk assessment for stream-dwelling trout and char, which is the subject of this report, was initiated in 2014. This report details the results of the risk assessment, and makes recommendations for a management framework.
