officials agreed to let them fish

The fleet was also allowed to
fish in the zone outside the river
mouth for 14 hours on Saturday
and all day on Monday.

‘DFO director of operations

scheduled openings were agreed

to after a sharp increase in the.

number of steelhead entering the
Skeena last week. .

day siege of DFO offices by com-

Bevan said fisheries officers
will re-evaluate the strength of
the steelhead run next week and
determine if further commercial
openings can be allowed.

**There is no prospect of further
fishery in the inside zone unless
there is .an adequate steelhead
abundance,” Bevan said,

For that to happen, he said, the
steelhead returns. would have to
excéed 19972 levels.

As of July 29 steelhead returns
were about 2 third of last year’s
mn
But Bevan said that improved
last week to the point that as of
Friday returns were only just be-
low 1992 levels.

He said coho returns remain

weak and the number of pink sal-

mon retuming to spawn is also
below expectations.
