Steelhead running

The Skeena summer steelhead average for the fish, the Ministry

Up to August 4 ministry staff
had counted 4,716 steelhead at the
Tyee test fishery. The count
includes a reported commercial
fishery incidental catch of 1,365.
Fish and wildlife personnel say the
run is healthier than carlier counts
would have suggested and attribute

the improvement to a patlern of

commercial gillnei fishing that
allows longer periods of time
between openings, allowing up to
five days of escapement through
the Skcena estuary.

Sport fishermen are asked to be
on the look-out for steelhead with
tags or clips on their adipose fins.
‘Tagged and clipped fish are part of
experiments lo assemble more
information on run timing and
hatchery success, Anglers reporting
the date, location, fish size and tag
numbers to the locat conservation

B.C. team members ran into strong
head winds in their portion of the
one-mile time trial.

He still managed to finish 22nd
out of 60 bikers. —

That night was the 160-kilometre
road race where Mike dazzled his
opponents with asixth-place finish.
It moved him into 10th overail.

Next day was one of Mike’s non-
favourite events — the criterium.
But he maintained his 10th overall
position by placing 10th in this
one. "I was most pleased with this
showing," he told us.

Also on day two was the 17-K
time trial. He made it in 24.06 —
good enough for 12th and a con-
tinuation of 10th overall.

Windy conditions whipped up
again on day three when they rode
the 100-K road race — final event
on the agenda.

"I came in 10th in this one and
held on to my 10th overall status,"
Mike said. He admitted he was
highly exhilarated because he had
obviously recovered fully from his
accident in Seattle in July.

Mike had planned to take in a
bike race on Aug. 11 weekend at
Kitwanga if things panned out.

His next big event is at Spokane,
Washington from the 20th to 26th.
It’s a mini-tour event with seven
stages. Most top riders, including
professionals, were expected to
enter.
