SkeenaWild’s Director of Fisheries, Kait, takes a look at North Coast salmon and steelhead returns, fisheries, and environmental conditions in this update for August 19, 2026.

The information shared in this video is provided by Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO), the Province of British Columbia, Nisga’a Fisheries, Lake Babine Nation Fisheries, Environment and Climate Change Canada, and the Alaska Department of Fish & Game. Thank you to the Skeena Knowledge Trust and Pacific Salmon Foundation for visualizations, and to the First Nations fisheries programs in the Skeena and Nass and charter patrol salmon assessment contractors for sharing their knowledge and experiences for us to share.

Tell DFO to stop cutting salmon monitoring funding and gutting environmental safeguards for our salmon: https://skeenawild.org/stop-cutting-and-gutting/

It is important to acknowledge the uncertainty associated with estimating Skeena summer-run steelhead abundance using the Tyee test fishery. It is a very rough estimate which does not evaluate or account for catchability at Tyee and variations with tides and timing, but it is the only tool available at this time.

Please check current regulations before going fishing!
