Assessment .

8 . Adequacy of ResourcesAll resources were adequate due to the slow fishing season and theUFAWU strike . However on a normal year with a fleet of 1000 +/-vessels operating staff and overtime budgets would be pushed to thelimit .Recent cutbacks in patrol vessel overtime made it evident this yearthat any commercial enforcement programs are the first to suffer . Forthe upcoming season O .T . allocations to patrol vessels that operate inremote subdistricts must be reviewed as these vessels are on strengthseven days a week and and O .T . is payed out for every Saturday, Sundayand stat holiday regardless if a fishery is in progress or not . Anyadditional overtime that is allocated would be focused directly onprograms of the highest priority ie . enforcement, salmon and herringmanagement .

9 . Catches improved late in the second fishing day on theoutside line suggesting new fish moving in .

10 ."In-Plan" Model Projections : n .a .

11 . Other : Mike Lewis observed no jumpers and no sport caughtSockeye were taken whereas usually they catch 1 or 2 .

Estimated Run Size :

Don Taylor- poor catch, moon phase off, predicts 500,000 andrecommends 1 day fishery

Art Monk- too early to judge run size ; concurs with Taylor

Greenlee, Goruk, Radford- 500,000 and 2 or 3 days late

Ivan Winther- 400,000 and normal run timing

Concensus :

- that the run appeared to be late and that the stock size was500,000 .

- Gear prediction for next week - 125 GN

- Fish 2 days in 9-2, 9-3, 9-4 & 9-11 with no extension .

"Expected" anticipated effort and calculated catch information .

To interpret the graph, note that the axies are CPUEtime in days along the horizontal .

The dotted line represents the theoretical CPUE of one gillnetterworking throughout the season . It approximates the run timing curve .

The "In-planModel"

(a weekly in-season catch and effort predictive model) .

This model generates a run timing curve based on the predicted orexpected run size and any required timing corrections . It then usesthat run timing information, together with the fleet size information,to predict CPUE, daily catch, daily "escapement" and total harvest rateto date . ("escapement" means fish not caught and does not implyspawners) .

The calculations that the model performs are based on the historicalperformance of the Area 9 commercial Sockeye fishery . The model useshistoric catch, effort and timing information .

The inputs are :

1 . predicted or expected run size,

2 . expected or actual fleet size,

3 . some timing corrections, as required .

The model generates a graph comparing actual and predicted CPUE's andallows comparisons of this data to assist (with other in-seasonindicators) in the revision of the run size estimate and/or timing .

Pre-season :

The total estimated stock size is generated at the Central CoastExpectations meeting, usually in November . Estimates of effort for thethe first two fishing weeks are made in consultation with industryadvisors (December advisory meeting), and are based on the expectedreturn of Rivers Inlet Sockeye and expected fishing activities in otherareas of the coast .

The first two weeks of fishing are fixed for two reasons . The firstbeing, two weeks of fishing data are required to adequately assess stocksize . The second is that over fishing is virtually impossible in theearly part of the run . Immediately after the second week's fishery thetotal estimated stock is re-evaluated and the fishery managedaccordingly . Re-evaluation may also occur in subsequent weeks .

In-season :

The solid lines are the computer predicted CPUE's for the expected fleetsize and account for variations throughout the fishing area andcompetition among gillnets for fish .

32

on the vertical and

The open circles are the actual CPUE's from the fishery and allow forcomparison of theoretical, predicted and actual CPUE information .

The objective (through multiple model runs) is to manipulate the totalstock and the run timing in order to make the predicted CPUE line bestmatch the actual (observed) CPUE .

Other outputs include predicted daily and total catch, predicted dailyand total escapement and harvest rate to date . Predicted catch data canbe compared with actual catch data and the inputs manipulated to try tomatch the predicted and actual catch . The predicted escapement may bereflected in the sounding program . Once the best fit is obtained, theharvest rate to date should be compared to the required harvest rate(harvest rate table) as dictated by the stock size . This informationcan be used with other indicators to make decisions to alter the fishingplan to meet the overall season harvest rate .

WEEKLY NOTES -WEEK 07-03 (JUL 16-22)

INFORMATION & RATIONALE,

July 18 - Slow fishing and jellyfish problems resulted in many boats notfishing overnight .

- Majority of boats leaving top line for lower inlet this A .M .

- 4 trollers working 9-2 this A .M .

July 19 - Seine test program, postponed until further notice due tolack of fish at head .

- Industry Meeting (Dawsons Landing) :

DFO staff : Supervisor John Greenlee, F .O .'s Tom Wilson, DavidFlegel, Bio .'s Ron Goruk, Ivan Winther, DonRadford, Bob Alton-"Walker Rock", Patrolmen VernSampson, Allen Falck, Hugh McNairnay-Planning

Advisors : Art Monk (BC Packers) ;Grant Snell ("Kelly Lynne")(gillnetter) ; Percy Walkus (Oweekeno Band) .

Company Reps : Art Monk

Purpose : to re-evaluate stock size estimate and beginadjusting the fishery for the third and fourth fishing week .

The following Indicators and information were discussed :

1 .IFF : Johnnie Johnson - Wannock River - (50 ft . 30 mesh)

July 17 - 64 Soc (2 sets) 5 .5 lb averagr


July 19 - 14 Sac, 1 Chum (1 set)

Johnnie reports that numbers of fish in the river havedropped as of the 19th but he expects a fair showing in 2to 3 days due to fish holding in Shotbolt and KilbellaBays .

2 . Fisheries in other Areas : Skeena /Hass more than expected ;Fraser as expected but late ; Bristol Bay weak but 1 weekearly (Radford - commented that some indication that whenBristol Bay stocks are high that Rivers Inlet stocks areoften low) ; Barkely Sound 30% below expectations .

3 . Sounding program : continued this week (see table with nobuild up of fish at the head .

4 . Weather conditions - overcast and rain, industry reportsthese conditions are poor for fishing, resulting in fishgoing deep .

3S

5 . Trolling - Jul 16 - 26 trollers operating in 9-2 lastnight . High boat-140 Soc . Rough hails indicate thefollowing catch 10-10-10-10-0-0-0 . Most vessels have leftby the A .M . .

6 . Poor showing of jumpers in the inlet .

7 . Tides - Moon phase should have been good . Large tides .


9 . Catches consistantly poor throughout the Inlet .

10 . "In-Plan" (model) Projections :

300,000

11 . Percy Walkus : Steady trickle up the Wannock . Feels lowescapement years result in large numbers of small fishspawning . Fish that are taken in the fishery are largeriver spawners with the small fish that escape being lakespawners .

Estimated Run Size :

- Don Taylor- (not present, however comments were relayed byVern Sampson) . 350,000, Wants no opening for Rivers orSmiths next week .

Art Monk- 400,000 Concurs that run is small, suggests thatif bump in stock size occurs this week that these fishshould be allowed to reach the head . No opening forRivers

Grant Snell-350,000 Wants fish in the head . No fishery inRivers next week

Don Radford- 300,000 Run on time .

Dave Flegel- 300,000 Run on time .

Vern Sampson- 300 - 350,000 Run on time .

Tom Wilson- 300,000 Run on time .

Concensus :

- That the estimated run appeared to be on time and thestock size was 300,000 .

- Preseason Management Strategy prescribes a catch of20,100 . As 61,791 already taken, there will be no Sockeyefishery in Rivers Inlet next week .

PROPOSED FISHING PATTERN FOR CONING WEEK

Management Objectives : Test local Chum stock strength .

Subareas Open : 9-2,3,4, & 11

Gear Type : Gillnet

Gear Restrictions : Min. 149mm mesh restriction to conserve sockeye .

Other Comments : This is a deviation from Expectations as firstindications are a weak chum run to the Clyak River (increased santuaryarea as a precautionary measure) .

WEEKLY NOTES -WEAK 07-04 (JUL 23-29)


July 25 IFF : Western Leader (SN) down to take 3,000 sockeye under newagreement (draft copy attached) between Bella Bella andOweekeno people . Under this agreement :

- 1000 fish alloted for every 100,000 in run size .- ceiling of 7000 fish in any year .

- 5 sets were made at the head of Rivers

Inlet forapproximately : 3569-34-56-29-0-0-0 .

DFO count in BellaBella was 3485 Sockeye .

Seine test charter cancelled due to small run size andconservation concerns . This charter was intended to testspecies composition in the grid areas .

July 26

Industry Meeting (Dawsons Landing) :

DFO staff :Supervisor John Greenlee . F .O .'s Tom Wilson, GregRahier, Bill Clarke, Bio's Ron Goruk, Ivan Winther, DonRadford, Bob Alton-"Walker Rock", Patrolman Vern Sampson, HughMcNairnay-Planning

Advisors : Art Monk (BC Packers) ; Grant Snell, Harry Allen(gillnetters) ; Percy and Jennifer Walkus (Oweekeno Band)

Purpose : To re-evaluate and possibly alter sockeye stock sizeestimate and subsequent fishing patterns for both sockeye andchum .

The following Sockeye Indicators were discussed :


July 22 - 30 Soc (1 set)July 25 - 13 Soc (2 sets)July 29 - 106 Soc, 2 Pk, 1 Chum (tagged)

Johnnie felt that the fish caught on the 25th were movingin and out of the River with the tide .

Art Monk felt that Johnnie's food fishing could bestructured to provide a better index of sockeye movementthrough the Wannock .

2 . Fisheries in Other Areas : Johnstone Straits a week latebut strong showing now; Barkely Sound weaker thanexpected ; Skeena as per expectations ; Area 8 low return .

3 . Sounding program continued this week (see table) with nobuildup of fish until July 22 when estimates began toexceed 100,000 . No fish sounded outside grid area .

4 . Weather : n .a . as no fishery this week

I

5 . Trolling : Harry Allen reports that a friend observed a goodshowing of small sockeye jumpers off Calvert Is . whichmight indicate a late run . Grant Snell also felt the runwas late .

6 . Jumpers : poor showing and small fish ; more in lowerInlet; some on south shore (D . Taylor)

7 . Tide/Moon Phase : n.a .


9 . Catches : n .a .

10 . "In-Plan" (model) Projection : 300,000 sockeye on time

11 . Other : nil

Re : Chums

- Expectations are for a chum fishery next week .

- Visual signs poor in Inlet; nil in Clyak River yet (early)

- Moses Inlet to remain closed for an increased santuary areaas a precautionary measure .

- Regarding mesh size :- Don Taylor : 4 3/4" mesh (ultra mono) is ideal for 6 lb .

sockeye ; 6 1/2" is normally used for Chums but 5 7/8"was more than adequate for small chums .Harry Allen stated that 5" ultra mono was too large forSockeye .

Consenses :

The estimated Sockeye run is between 300-400,000 .

There would be no directed fishery for Sockeye in RiversInlet next week as per Management Strategy Plan .

Open Area 9 to gilinets 1 day to test local Chum stockstrength . Minimum mesh size 149mm to conserve sockeye .

Recommendation for next week

As per Advisory meeting .


July 29 - 3 Trollers hailed off Calvert . Average 30 to 35 Coho a day .Few Pink, Sockeye, and Chum .

- Fair showing of Sockeye Jumpers in Darby Channel this evening .

Aug 01 - A few Pink and Chum Jumpers reported in Drainy Inlet by the"Falcon Rock" .

No Chum Jumpers observed by Vern Sampson in Noses althoughviewing conditions were poor .

Aug 02 Industry Meeting (Dawsons Landing) :

DFO staff : F .O .'s Greg Rahier, Tom Wilson, Patrolman VernSampson, Ross Skog - "Falcon Rock"

Advisors : Art Monk (BC Packers) ; Grant Snell,(gillnetters) ; Jennifer Walkus (Oweekeno Band)

- Purpose : to evaluate Chum stock strength and subsequent fishingpatterns ; Sockeye Indicators also discussed

The following Sockeye Indicators were discussed :


July 31 - 107 Soc, 1 Pk, 1 Chum (4 sets)Aug 1 - 59 Soc, 0 Pk, 1 Chum ( sets)

The average weight on Sockeye was between 6 and 7 lbs .

Jennifer Walkus stated that the number of fish in the riverhad increased over the last two days with many more Jumpersbeing sighted :

57

Harry Allen

An IFF GN Fishery was proposed by Vern Sampson to testspecies composition and numbers in the lower inlet . This waslater dismissed due to the unavailability of an IFF GN boat .

Greg Rahier proposed that IFF Siening should be done behindthe sounding boat to best provide additional information onspecies composition .

2 . Sounding Program : It was felt by all that the soundingprogram should continue into the second week of August toprovide data on late run Sockeye .

Estimated Sockeye Run Size :

Art Monk suggested that 500,000 Sockeye would escape and thatthe run size was 600,000 . Proposed to open in Rivers Inleton Sockeye . Art felt the Sockeye average per vessel washighest in August and produced B .C. Packer figures tosupport his claim .

Grant Snell also felt the run size was larger than 300,000but agreed that it would be impractical to increase the runsize without sounding information .F .O .'s Wilson and Rahier felt the run size should remain at300 to 400,000 due to the unavailability of hard data(soundings) .

Re : Chums

- Chum run appears weak based on escapements and signs inInlet .

- Very little gear expected (Sockeye fisheries elsewhere) nextweek, so impact on stocks would be minor .

Consenses :

- That the stock size would remain at 300,000 and that therewould be no directed fishery on Sockeye next week .

- That Area 9 should open to GN only in Subareas 9-2, 9-3, 9-4,and 9-11 for 1 Day to test local Chum stock strength . Min .mesh restriction 149mm to conserve Sockeye .

jtecomendation for next week

Aug 6 - Shoreworkers on strike .

WEEKLYNOTES-WEEK08-02(AUG 06-AUG12)

- Good showing of Chum Jumpers from mouth of Hardy Inlet down tomain inlet . 39 jumpers in 1 hr .

Aug 8 - 12 hr . hails reflect better fishing in 9-4 with avg . of 63 Chums(overall average 30) . Chums near top line starting to darken .

- No substantial escapements (fee Chum Key) and C .P .U .E . low .

Recommendation,

To close as scheduled

Recommendation accepted

Aug 9 Industry Meeting (Dawsons Landing) :

DFO Staff : F .O .'s Greg Rahier, Tom Wilson, Ross Skog "FalconRock", Patrolman Vern Sampson .

Advisors : Art Monk (BC Packers) ; Grant Snell (gillnetter) ; Percyand Jennifer Walkus (Oweekeno Band)

Purpose : to evaluate and Chum stock size estimate and subsequentfishing patterns .

The following points were discussed :

- Percy Walkus : Sockeye still filtering up the Wannock, largenumbers of immature fish this year and not much showing inthe Lake .

- Optimum weather for gillnetting on the last opening .

- Good Sockeye troll success off Calvert reported last week .

Sockeye run size was discussed but not officially altered from300,000 . Some observations mentioned :

- Art Monk : Stock Size 600,000 plus based on last grid countJuly 28, catch to date, high catch of Sockeye with large meshrestriction during last fishery, Jumpers in inlet, andsuspected bump on big tides Aug . 1 and 2 .

- Grant Snell : Stock Size 600,000 . Indicators over last 2weeks suggest computer model is wrong .

Percy Walkus : 500,000 or less based on comparisons with pastyears and showing in Owikeno Lake this year .

- Vern Sampson : 500, 00 0 based on large numbers of Jumpers, high

J

Sockeye catch .

Greg Rahier : 500,000 based on all input from others inattendance and own observations .

Tom Wilson : 500,000 but reluctant to drop mesh restrictionand take any more Sockeye . Agreed based on small forecastedfleet size ( Art Monk predicted 100 boats) and Sockeye catchduring last fishery .

Ross Skog : no estimate given .

goncensus :

- The stock size was closer to 600,000 and not 300,000 .

Area 9 should open to gillnets for 1 day with no meshrestriction to test local Chum stock strength and harvestsurplus Sockeye in subareas 9-2, 9-3, 9-4, and 9-11 . A portionof 9-3 would remain closed to protect Johntson Creek PinkSalmon .

Recommendation for next week,

As per Advisory meeting

The recommendation to alter the Sockeye stock size rejected by DFO asbeyond active Sockeye management . In order to maintain the confidenceof the local Advisory Board, however, the Area would open as recommendedwith no mesh restriction, but solely for the purpose of testing chumstrength, not to harvest Sockeye .

Dropping of the mesh restriction was not in the best interests Of thecurrent Sockeye Management Plan, but ..is a result of a series oferrors :

1 . The local Advisory Board was .,not aware they couldn't adjust thestock size after Week 5 ;

2 . The Sockeye Managment Plan did not specify when active sockeyemanagement ends .

3 . None of the "Key" people from DFO involved with development ofthe Management Plan were at the- Advisory meetings during Week 5

.or this week to regulate the direction of the meeting i .e . Chummanagement vs . Sockeye management .

WEEKLY NOTES -WEEK 08-03 (AUG 13-AUG 19)


Aug 14 - 5 of 6 TR checked in 9-2 for 95-17-26-15-0-0-0 .

- 12 hr . gillnet hails reflect poor fishing .

- No increase in escapement to the Clyak River (see Chum key) .

Recommendation

Recommend to close .

Recommendation accepted

- 2 final TR hails for : 229-22-266-9-0-0-0

Aug 16 - Advisory Meeting (Dawsons Landing) :

DFO staff : F .O. Tom Wilson, Patrolman Vern Sampson .

Advisors : Art Monk (BC Packers) only

- Purpose : to evaluate Chum Stock strength and subsequentfishing patterns .

The following points were discussed :

Art Monk : escapement into the Clyak River is low as still tooearly. Strong escapements in past years at this time werepredominently "summer chums" which are now wiped out due toheavy seining pressure in past years .

Art agreed that the Sockeye fishery was over .

Felt the CPUE for Chum Salmon this week was not ezcessivly lowcompared to past years . Another Chum test fishery would nottake a signifigant amount of fish to impact on Chumescapements . Recommended a one day test fishery .

Vern Sampson : The small fleet size would not impact on Chumescapements . Recommended a one day opening in the same subareas as last week . Felt having a GN test boat in Moses inletwould provide useful information .

Tom Wilson: Escapement data compared to the past 6 years whichreflected a late or weak run into the Clyak River this year .

Trends in other areas also show poor returns on wild Chums .

Low averages on the last 3 Chum test fisheries reflected poorcatches compared to Gillnet averages for past fisheries inprevious years .

l0

I

v

Scale samples show 33% 3 year olds which is far belowexpectations .

All factors indicate that there is no identifiable surplusstock . Recommended to close for the following week andcontinue to assess Chum escapements into the Clyak River .

No consenses was reached . It was understood that allrecommendations would be passed into the District office forconsideration .

Recommendation

Advisory meeting comments also passed on . Final recommendation was toremain closed next week .

3 . PROPOSEDGENERALFISHINGPLAN :

Under a new management strategy for Rivers Inlet Sockeye, the pre-seasonfishing plan was for a two day fishery for the first two weeks . Afterthe second week of fishing the total stock was to be re-evaluated . NoPink surplus was identified . A small surplus of Chum was expected fromreturns to Clyak-Neil-Young and Draney Inlet creeks .

4 . COMMERCIAL NET FISHERY COMMENTS :

The first two weeks of fishing were fixed at two days . Indications byJuly 12th resulted in downgrading the total run size from 700,000 to500,000 . The run size was again downgraded on July 19th to 300,000 withno further Sockeye directed fisheries . A UFAWU strike took placebetween July 21 and August 7, 1989 . Three subsequent Chum testfisheries failed to identify any surplus .

5 . SPORT FISHERY COMMENTS :

Nine sportfish resorts and a large number of privite vessels saw slowfishing in June and July for Chinook with good catches of Coho inAugust . Most resort operators felt the fishing was better overall thanlast year .

6 . INDIAN FOOD FISHERY COMMENTS :

The Owikeno Band was issued 4 IFF permits and used approximately 1000salmon from the Wannock River and Rivers Inlet . Approximately 3600salmon were taken under a new agreement between the Oweekeno andHeiltsuk (Bella Bella) band councils . The Bella Bella people wereallowed 1000 salmon for every 100,000 in estimated total run size . Ofthe total food fishery catch for 1989, the following was taken by the SNWestern Leader (Eric Wilson) for Bella Bella : 3485-34-56-29-0 .

REVIEW OF SOCKEYE MANAGEMENTRIVERS INLET (STAT . AREA 9)

MAY 1-6, 1989

A recommendation to review the escapement target andmanagement regime for Rivers Inlet was adopted during the December1989 Central Coast advisory meeting . The 1988 Pacific StockAssessment Review Committee independently recommended that "Thecurrent fixed target escapement should be replaced by a progressiveharvest rate system that encourages a wide range of escapements" .

JoS

In response to these initiatives,Owikeno Lake, Rivers Inletreview and develop a proposal

a workshop was conducted inMay 1-6, 1989 to provide a technical

for a new approach to sockeyemanagement in Rivers Inlet .

The participants in this workshop included :

Carl Walters Professor- University of British ColumbiaDon Taylor Commercial gillnet fishermanJim Cameron Commercial gillnet fishermanArt Monk ProcessorDon Radford DFO Planning BiologistHugh McNairnay DFO Planning (Contractor)Ivan Winther DFO BiologistSteve Bachen DFO TechnicianRon Goruk DFO BiologistJohn Greenlee DFO District SupervisorDave Peacock DFO Biologist

(07/13/89)

The following management strategies were developed and will beapplied to the 1989 Sockeye fishery . They will be reviewed by theCentral Coast Advisory Board, and if approved, will be recommendedto the Minister of Fisheries & Oceans for formal adoption . `

MANAGEMENTSTRATEGY1 :IndianFoodFishing :

In no way does anything in this strategy preclude an Oweekeno BandFood Fishery

MANAGEMENTSTRATEGY2 :HarvestRate : (see Table I)

Below 200,000 - zero Harvest Rate in the commercial fishery

200,000 to 400,000 - Harvest Rate to be determined by the CentralCoast Advisory Board

At 400,000 - 10% Harvest Rate

At 1 million - 50%'Harvest Rate

At 2 million - . 58% Harvest Rate

At 2 .5 million - 60% Harvest Rate

Above 2 .5 million the Harvest Rate increases slowly and allowsescapement to steadily increase .

MANAGEMENT STRATEGY3 :WeekOne : (see Table II)

First fishing week will be the first Sunday in July or June 30 ifthe Sunday falls on that day .

MANAGEMENT STRATEGY 4 :In-seasonAdlustmentofFishingPlan :

Any required adjustment will be implemented in Week 3 based uponthe decision made in Week 2 .

If effort was over estimated, thefishery may be, extended to achieve the desired harvest rate . Ifeffort in Week 3 was under estimated, the fishery in Week 3 cannotbe altered and any adjustmentsd for conservation must be made inthe following week .

MANAGEMENT STRATEGY 5 : Closure :

If the required harvest rate needs less fishing time than oneopening in each week would provide, the third week would be thefirst with no fishing time permitted . This is to allow two weeksof catch data to make the best prediction of total stock .

MANAGEMENT STRATEGY 6 : Stock Assessment :

The pattern of fishing days for the first two weeks of the seasonwill be fixed based on harvest rates required for an expected runsize prior to the season (run size dictates harvest rate) .Harvest rate is dependent upon the gear expected to operate,fishing area and the duration of the fishery .

Adjustments for

$06

Im

7

( 07/13/89)

increased catch or for conservation will occur in the third andsuccessive weeks . The first two weeks of fishing will not bealtered from preseason expectations fishing plan . After the firsttwo weeks fishing a new stock estimate will be determined andsubsequent fisheries altered (either cutback or expanded, asrequired)

MANAGEMENTSTRATEGY7 :LowReturns

The management plan outlines proposed low harvest rates forpredicted stock sizes between 200,000 and 400,000 to allow anassessment of the accuracy of the forecast run sizes . Predictionsof run sizes in this range are very unlikely and these specialcircumstances will require a careful pre-season review of proposedfishing plans .

MANAGEMENT STRATEGY8 : Tn-season AdvisoryGrouD :

The Rivers Inlet in-season advisory group will meet weekly onWednesdays . This group consists of commercial fishermen,processors, the Oweekeno Band and sport fishing representativesRecommendations are provided on the Rivers and Smith Inletsfishing patterns .

MANAGEMENT STRATEGY9? Tr-spa,son A,dlustmentof Total StockEstimate :

In-season adjustments to the total stock estimate will be made, ifpossible, in consultation with the in-season advisors . Onlyfishing time (duration) and fishing area can be altered to adjustthe harvest rate . The only way to alter the harvest rate, andtherefore the fishing plan is to change the estimate of totalstock .

DEFINITIONS

GEARCOUNT - Count of boats operating by sub-area . Only required once aday unless there is a noticeable influx or loss from theStatistical Area (Area 9 or Area 10) .

An accurate count is essential in calculating final dailycatch figures .

Normally this is done Sunday evening by aircraft and neednot be required again by patrol boats until Monday eveningon a 2 day fishery .

if a gear count by air is not possible then a count shouldbe made by the patrol boats by sub-area on Sunday eveningand every evening afterward .

boats that are anchored or tied up should be included inthe count .

HAIL - verbal estimate of catch for a given period direct from afisherman . This is the first indication of fishing successbefore delivery information is available .

12HR . HAIL

verbal estimate of catch for a 12 hour period (example : 6PM Sunday to Monday morning .

On days when decisions are required to either close orextend, 12 hails are of greater importance than during afixed fishing period or on "non-decision" days such as theMonday morning of a two day fishery .

In the case of a Tuesday morning, catch since he deliveredMonday or if holding fish the portion of his total catchfor the last 12 hours .

A hail catch for a given sub-area should be given asfollows :

sub-area - number of boats checked - total catch by species .

(Example : 10-3 . . . . 10 checked for 750 - 30 - 0 - 60 - 4 - 0 - 0 )

A portion of the fleet will only delivery at "clean-up" .

A few boats will leave packing their own fish . Patrol boatsshould request over the radio-phone that vessels 1.eavinca the areapacking their own fish hail their catch .

Final catch figures for a 1 day fishery represents a 24 hourcatch .

Two Dav Fishery :

Day one catch (Sunday/Monday) :

- collectors start taking deliveries Monday morning and dependingupon fleet size continue into the PM or evening .

From 6 PM Sunday, the first day catch figures may represent atime period which could range from 12 hours ( Monday AM) to 20hours (Monday afternoon) . See Figure .

Patrol boats should maintain contact with packers and CASHBUYERS in order to collect deliveries for the first day FieldCatch figures .

Deliveries should be totalled by patrol boats and the number ofdeliveries and total catch radioed in . If it is noticed on thesales slips that there are double deliveries (same GN) for dayone of 2 day fishery, then treat those two deliveries as one .

- The day one field catch is derived by the Fishery Officer fromthe total catch on all the deliveries divided by the number ofdeliveries (average per boat) multiplied by the actual fleetoperating (gear count) .

Day two catch (Tuesday) :

collectors start taking deliveries Tuesday morning and Tuesdaynight will take "clean up" deliveries for fish caught since themorning delivery and for fish which have been held (slushed)since the opening .

By 6 PM closure Tuesday the second day catch figures mayrepresent a time period which could range from 36 hours (fromMonday morning) to 28 hours (from Monday afternoon-evening) .See Figure .

Patrol boats should maintain contact with packers and CASHBUYERS in order to collect deliveries far the second day FieldCatch figures .At closure, delivery slips can fall into three catagories :

1 . a few for the first day that were missed on Monday .

2 . a majority for the second fishing day .

3 . a few that represent 2 days worth of fish .

112

All three catagories should be totalled separately andpassed to the Fishery Officer .

Normally the number of deliveries on the last day of fishingwill be significantly higher than the gear operating because of"double deliveries" on the final day ("clean up") .

The day two field catch is derived by the Fishery Officer fromthe total catch on all the deliveries made on the second day(No .

2 above) .

For slips with 2 days of fish (No . 3 above), patrol boatsshould pass the number of these deliveries and the total catchto the Fishery Officer . Note : Part of the catch for these slipshas been accounted for in the first day catch by extrapolation .The Fishery Officer will determine the second day's portion ofthe catch by subtracting, the first day catch average from thetotal for each slip

INTRODUCTION

The following is a brief report of the traditional summersport fishery in Rivers Inlet .

Rivers Inlet has been famous for many years as a destinationfishing area for sports fishermen desiring a chance to catchexceptionally large chinook salmon .

Fishermen in Rivers Inlet concentrate their efforts towardstwo distinct runs of chinook salmon . A run of mixed red andwhite chinook destined for the Kilbella/Chuckwalla riversystems produce excellent trophy-sized fish, peaking in thelatter part of June . A second run of chinooks heading forspring pool in the Wannock River, and to a lesser extent therivers feeding Owikeno Lake, arrives in the beginning ofAugust, reaching it's peak in the middle of the month . thisrun produces some of the largest sport-caught chinook salmonon the B .C . coast .

Actively feeding coho are present throughout the season,although weight and numbers increase dramatically towardsthe end of August, as the chinook catch declines . Althoughless favored, pink and chum salmon are retained in smallernumbers throughout the season . Sockeye salmon, although thebackbone of the commercial industry, are seldom caught onsport gear . Most lodges and resorts have closed for the sea-son by mid-September and the private fleet is minimal .

Chinook and Coho are caught in the same areas of the Inlet,but at different times of the season . On the lower Inlet,camp and private boats usually fish at "The Wall", RouseReef or Wadhams Point . At the head of the Inlet, McAllisterPoint, Rutherford Point, Kilbella Point and the waters alongeach of the sportfishing boundaries are most popular . Agreater number of private boats anchor and fish at the head,while others stay in Johnston Bay, Dawsons Landing or GooseBay (see map) .

Two fish sanctuary areas are closed to all fishing in RiversInlet- one in Kilbella Bay and the other at the mouth of theWannock River . Both are marked with white square boundarysigns . In addition, a commercial box boundary consisting ofa 100 metre wide strip 0 .8 miles long along the "Wall" fish-ing area was put into effect in 1987 . This helps to preservethe traditional sport fishing area and separate the commercialand sport vessels during net fishing times, avoiding con-frontation .

Fishing tackle for salmon is almost exclusively plug cutherring, but with some anglers using herring strip andvarious artificial lures .

DATA COLLECTION

The 1989 season saw nine sportfish resorts operating in RiversInlet . Three of these camps were located at the head of theInlet, in the area previously designated as a special permitarea . This permit area is no longer in effect, but for the pur-pose of gathering statistical information it is a useful geograph-ical area . One of the lodges at the head fished the permit areaonly, while the other two also travelled to Rouse Reef and The Wall .

ENFORCEMENT

Two guardians were hired this year to take care of the sportfishery . Mervin Mochizuki lived in the sport float cabin atBrowns Bay, and was responsible for the upper half of the Inlet .Robin Cooper lived at home in Magee Channel, but operated outof Dawsons Landing to take care of the lower Inlet .

Sportfish tallys were retrieved from the lodges once a week,and private vessels were contacted as often as possible togenerate an accurate picture of the private catch and fishingefforts .

Catch levels in Rivers Inlet are generally not high enough tocause over-limiting problems . 8 private vessels were observedleaving the Inlet with their chinook possession limit on board,and the Browns Bay guardian also spoke to 3 vessels fishingcatch-and-release after reaching their daily limit . These peoplewere asked to stop fishing to avoid the possible situation ofdead fish being returned to the water when a bigger one is caught .The 1989 catch levels were low enough that this was not felt tobe a serious problem .

Licence and regulations enforcement checks were performed atintervals to determine compliance with both the resort and pri-vate vessels . 252 boats and 532 sport fishing licences werechecked during the season . No Voluntary Payment tickets wereissued, and the only infractions found were 11 cases of lodgeclients leaving their licences at the camp, and several incidentsinvolving boats pressing the upper boundary of the permit area .On 16 occasions the Browns Bay guardian was asked to come andpatrol the boundary by resort operators . Several verbal warningswere issued to violators, but all situations were resolved with-out conflict .

SUMMARY

Resort operators on the lower Inlet generally agreed that althoughslow in June and early July, the fishing was better overall thanlast year . This was partly due to impressive coho catches duringAugust in comparison to previous years . The coho never really show-ed up at the head, however, with catches in the upper Inlet onlya quarter of those at the mouth throughout August . The chinook catchpeaked in the beginning of August, as usual, with 357 fish takenJuly 31 - August 6 . The highest week in coho production was August21 - 27, with 690 pieces recorded .

SUMMARY Cont'd

Both guardians were new this season, as were both fishery off-icers . Merv had had previous experience with fish managementand hatchery work, but had no local knowledge . Robin had hadextensive experience on the Inlet, but was unfamiliar with theDepartment of Fisheries . A light commercial fishing seasonthis year eased the pressure on sportfish data collection andenforcement and served as a good introduction to Area 9 for allat Dawsons Landing .

RECOMMENDATIONS

1 . A Voluntary Payment ticket with $100 - $150 fine should beused for violations of upper sport fishery boundary, insteadof court appearance notice .

2 . The Rivers Inlet area should be managed as a trophy chinookfishery . The daily limit of 2 chinook and the 4 chinook possess-ion limit would still be in effect, but with the annual limitreduced to 8 .

3 . Although still serviceable, the Otter Rock and the MajorBrown are becoming unseaworthy and replacement should be con-sidered very soon .

Subject :Chuckwalla&KilbellaBroodStockCollection .

On Tuesday August 15, 1989 I met with Randy Wright, ProjectManager of Shotbolt Hatchery, and his crew at Killiam loggingcamp . The purpose of the meeting was to look at the holdingfacilities Shotbolt Hatchery is currently using on theirbrood stock collection and assess the holding times of theChinook .

OBSERVATIONS

Brood stock is collected by means of rod & reel . My concernhere was that they mat use "Sport Fishing" tactics (ie .playing the fish for a long period of time) . I was pleasedto see that they were bringing the fish in after five (5)to seven (7) minutes of play . Which in my experience isquick enough to keep the stress on the fish to a minimum .

Holding Tubes :

The tubes used were wide enough and adequately long (exactmeasurements were not taken) . These tubes were numberedand separated by sex and length of time till spawning .The tubes were then put on two ropes that kept them outin a pool and allowed them to rise and fall in times ofhigh water (freshet) . I thought this was an acceptablesystem as they said the cable system across the river al-lowed the tubes to be hit by logs coming down during aflood .

Ripeness of Fish :The hatchery crew were doing a good job at assessing theripeness of the fish . I, however, did not get the opportunityto assess the fish already in the tubes .

RECOMMENDATIONS

It seems that the hatchery has not had any hard times inangling for their brood stock quota . To minimize holdingfor extended periods of time, I would recommend that theystart collection even later

it

RECOMMENDATIONS (cont . . .)

To reduce the stress on the fish, I would recommend that :

1 . A stronger pound test fishing line be used .This will allow the fish to be brought infaster and without worries of loosing the fish .

2 . The fish should be revived before being tubed .It is a basic rule in fish culture, howevertends to be forgot in the heat of the moment .

Even though there has not beeA a threat to the fish sofar (flooding, bears etc .) I feel that holding all or mostof the females in one pool is to risky . Should it happento flood it would take your whole effort out in one flood .I would recommend finding other pools to hold some of thebrood stock in, thus increasing the chance of survival ina flood situation .

September 26, 1989 .

Recent fish counts on the Chuckwalla & Kilbella rivershave shown low numbers of spawning Chinooks . My concernshere are that there may not be sufficient numbers ofChinook left to spawn naturally . Shotbolt Hatchery mayhave to or should be cut back on their brood stock ifthe runs are small . I recommend that Salmon EnhancementProject reassess the numbers of brood stock taken outof each river (Chuckwalla & Kilbella) because the ratioof natural spawners to fish collected as brood stock isnot balanced . The following tables show the number ofChinook spotted on the fish counts conducted by DawsonsLanding Dept . of Fisheries & Oceans . .

6 Chinook with clipped adipose fins were recovered . These werereturning OSEP hatchery fish .

In October there were 55 Peterson discs attached to Chinook andreleased . 2 discs were found in November .

River and lake levels were noted and recorded on a daily basisas well as water and air temperatures .

The 1989 Wannock River Chinook Enumeration was carried out againthis year by Vern Sampson under contract to the Department ofFisheries and Oceans . The contractor's motor vessel, the HooklineNo .3, was used as a residence and moored to a float about 1/4 kmup the Wannock . This area has, in the past, enabled us to workthe river every day regardless of weather conditions in the inlet .This year, however, the flood problems associated with a warmingtrend and heavy rains created safety concerns with our WannockRiver mooring . On November 9 we were forced to move our vessel out ofthe Wannock and anchored in various areas at the head of the inlet asweather conditions permitted .

Details of this contractor's involvement-in the events of November9 and 10 are outlined in Appendix 1 of this report . The lengths of allChinook retrieved and measured are listed in Appendix 2 . On file atDawsons Landing also are the daily log sheets outlining work performedduring the course of the dead pitch contract .

1989 Wannock River Chinook Enumeration

- CHINOOK :The peak period for carcass retrieval for Wannock River

Chinook is usually November 8 to 16 . However the mudslide, floodingand associated problems severely hampered observations and thecollection of data after November 9 . On November 7 and 8, Percy Walkusand I retrieved, measured and disposed of 152 and 38 spawned outChinook carcasses respectively .

Observations this year indicate Chinook escapement to theWannock to be in the order of 3000 .

- SOCKEYE :Beach seines for enumeration purposes done in

October by participants of the Owikeno Lake Industry Tour and otherobservations would indicate an escapement of approximately 100,000sockeye for 1989 .

- CHUM :The Chum will continue to spawn into the end of November .

The November 9 mudslide and flooding of small tributory creeks into thelower region of the Wannock would have an adverse effect on the reddsand eggs of an estimated 1000 Chum spawning downstream on the northbank of the river . Heavy silting and some bottom damage appears to haveoccurred in this area .

The limited observations this year would indicate a Chumescapement figure to be in the order of 8 to 10,000 .

- COHO :1989 would appear to be a very good year for Coho in the

Wannock . Beach seines by Oweekeno Salmon Enhancement crew for Chinookbroodstock, caught and released larger numbers of Coho than any otherseason in recent years . Several residents of Oweekeno Village fishedfor Coho using sportfishing gear and reported consistantly good catchesfor about a 10 to 12 day period in the latter part of October . Thesefish were utilized as food fish under a DFO IFF permit . The goodshowing of Coho was attributed to a slower than normal commercialfishing season this year due to labour problems in the industry .

With very little past data on Coho to compare to I could notput a definite number on Coho escapements but will have to go withthe observations contained in the above paragraph .

- WANNOCK RIVER .

The events of November 9, 1989 and the days following have had anadverse effect on the collection of data for this year's Wannock RiverChinook Enumeration . Therefore I have documented our role in thedisastrous floods and associated problems that occurred in Rivers Inletthis fall .

On the night of November 8/9 we had heavy rains and a warming ofthe air temperature . A large rock and mud slide occurred near daybreakon Thursday, November 9 sending torrents of debris, mud, trees androck into the Oweekeno Indian Village on the banks of the WannockRiver . Several small creeks that flowed through the village and wereusually dry for most of the year turned into raging torrents,sweeping away bridges, small boats, smokehouses and pouring tons ofmud, gravel and other debris into the Wannock . Mud poured all throughthe downstream half of the village and one new home (unoccupied) wascompletely destroyed by a wall of water and debris . One other home,also new, was caved in by rushing debris and filled with 2 feet of mud .Power poles were damaged and the village well and water systemdestroyed . Fortunately, with all this damage occurring in a shortperiod of time in the morning, no one was injured or killed . Severalresidents sustained minor bruises and bumps while fleeing from theslide .

I had my vessel, the Hookline No .3 moored approximately 1/2 kmdownstream and on the opposite bank from Oweekeno Village .By 0800, my wife and I as well as many village residents were usingour skiffs to evacuate stranded people from the river banks . Theywere transported down the Wannock to the logging camp operated byTranslake Services Ltd ., situated at the head of Rivers Inlet . ACanadian Coast Guard helicopter evacuated some residents to PortHardy late that afternoon . A group of residents opted to stay behindto begin "mopping up" after the slide . More residents were evacuatedthe next day by the Coast Guard .

Heavy rains and gale force south west winds continued all day andinto the night .

With Oweekeno residents safe and the weather continuing todeteriorate we found that the Wannock River was becoming rapidly unsafefor our boat . The Wannock was rising rapidly and a tremendous amount ofdebris was pouring downstream . The small creek opposite our locationwas also a concern with rocks and debris pouring out of it . Thereforewe departed the Wannock and proceeded down Rivers Inlet into a 30 to 40knot sou'west gale .

Appendix I

Shotbolt Bay, November 9, 1989

We arrived on the Hookline No .3 at Shotbolt Bay atapproximately 11 :30 . The Rivers Inlet-Hakai Pass SportfishingAssociation has a Chinook hatchery there . There is also a sportsfishing lodge located at Shotbolt Bay .

The resort buildings and the hatchery were in danger from ShotboltCreek . Earlier in the morning the bridge between the lodge and thehatchery was swept away . Our main concern at this point was for thesafety of the hatchery technician, Dean Simmons, and his companion .They had been working hard to maintain a water supply to the Heathtrays which contained approximately 300,000 Kilbella/Chuckwalla RiverChinook alevins . As Shotbolt Creek was still rising rapidly it becameincreasingly dangerous to be working in the hatchery building . Thecreek had broken through above and on both sides of the building .Branches from roots and trees being swept downstream had struck thebuilding several times . Heavy rains did not let up until later thatnight . Approximately 10 minutes after we had left the hatchery and hadgone over to the lodge area, a huge debris torrent swept down thecreek pushing a wall of water, roots, trees and mud approximately 4metres higher than the normal creek level and about 100 metres wide .The three of us had to run for safety as we had been standing near thecreek bank trying to assess the situation! This torrent pushed themajority of the debris, including full length trees with roots, 1/4km out into the bay . The end of the large hatchery building whichfaced the creek was completely smashed in, scattering equipment andcollapsing a small room onto the racks of Heath trays . Mud and waterpoured through the building, and outside some equipment, small boats,stumps and logs were pushed down to the water's edge . The lodgeitself sustained very little damage but was dangerously susceptibleto further flash floods . We went back over to the hatchery buildingabout half an hour later to assess the damage . Dean Simmons managedto get water onto some Heath trays and others we deposited outside ina small channel of creek water . Many trays were inaccessible due tothe damage within the building .

Shotbolt Creek was still rising and running through and around thehatchery, therefore at this point we decided to abandon the ShotboltBay facility . My wife and I took Dean, Carmen and their personalbelongings aboard our boat and proceeded to Moses Inlet where westayed at a logging camp operated by John Salo . Weather conditons atthis time (late afternoon of the 9th) consisted of heavy rains and 45to 50 knot sou'west gales . During the day we were in radio telephonecontact with local residents, the owners of the resort at ShotboltBay, Sandie MacLaurin (SEP Community Advisor) and Oweekeno Village .

The morning of Friday, November 10 dawned clear and calm . Weran back to Shotbolt Bay to assess the damage and try to save someof the Chinook alevins . Community advisor, Sandie MacLaurin flew infrom Bella Coola to take the approximately 30,000 live alevins backto Snootli Hatchery . We resumed our duties with the Wannock Riverdead pitch and further assessments of other river systems in Area 9 .

Weather Patterns

Prior to November 09, 1989 and culminating on this date both areas 9and 10 recieved heavy rains which altered and disrupted watersheds andliving conditions of many people living in the area . Fortunatly therewas no loss of life but had the timing of heavy flooding occurred atnight the situation could have been much worse . It should be notedthat at the time of this event Vern Sampson was being contracted to dothe Wannock River Dead Pitch and was in the area that was mostadversly affected . Vern assisted in the subsequent evacuation of theOweekeno Band from there homes on the Wannock River and wasinstrumental in salvaging what remained of the salmon fry at theShotbolt Hatchery Facility . This was accomplished at considerablerisk to his personal safety . As both F/O's were attending the annualexpectations meeting in Vancouver when the flooding occurred an aerialassessment of the resulting effects was not completed until Nov . 16,1989 . This report outlines the major effects of the heavy rainfalloberserved during this inspection and additional information passed onby others .

Wannock River, heavy flooding in the village resulted in theevacuation of the Owikeno people by Coast Guard helicopter to Pt .Hardy . Flooding seemed to originate more from swollen creeks behindthe village rather than an actual overflow of the Wannock River . Inaddition a major slide originating above the village took out thewater well and deposited large amounts of debris, sand, silt andgravel in a fan 600 yard wide through the village and into the WannockRiver . S .E .P . water wells in the area recieved no damage . About40,000 Chinook eggs were also lost . Estimated lake level was approx .14 ft . although extreme lake levels in the past have exceeded 20 ft .The majority of the spawning in the Wannock occurrs upstream of wherethe debris torrent entered the system . Therefore impacts on thefishery resource were probably minimal .

Shotbolt Bay, a debris torrent destroyed the Shotbolt HatcheryFacility . Of the 350,000 fry being reared all but 50,000 were lost .There was also some damage sustained to the King Salmon ResortFacility .

Kilbella River, bridge above log jam at 9 mi . destroyed . Log jamitself opened up giving access to upper river . S .E .P . rearing pondrecieved no damage .Chuckwalla River, mainline washed out at various locations due tonumerous small slides and flooding of the river . Three main debristorrents entering from the East side of the river deposited largeamounts of organic debris into the river . Impacts on the fisheryresource are rated as severe .

- Wash Wash and Inziana River, S .E .P . work on both break throughs intactwith minimal damage .

- Genesse Camp, no damage .

Amback, Ashlum, Dallery, Doos, Sheemahant, Tzeo, Neechanz andMachmell, All these systems appeared to remain stable . There was noevidence of any fresh debris or major rechannelization . High waterthat resulted from rains probably had minimal impact on the fisheryresource . From the second narrows to the head of the lake the waterwas heavily silted due to numerous slides along the shore . Turbidityand water color indicated that all beach spawning may have beenunsuccessful .

Clyak/Neil/Young, Milton, appeared to remain stable .

McNair Creek, large slide 300 ft . wide near estuary, stream chokedwith debris, stumps, and broken trees . Appeared heavily scoured .Possible slide further up stream .

Nekite River, slide 250 ft . wide and 20 ft . deep near the lower riverhas blocked the road off . Bridge above the Nekite Spawning Channeldestroyed . Top one quarter of the Nekite Spawning Channel was heavilysilted due to the mainstem of the river overflowing the intake .

Docee River Counting Fence, intact although a slide occurred near themouth of Smokehouse Creek .

After a preliminary survey of the area some of the rivers that tookheavy egg losses might include :
