Beautiful silver sockeye salmon at the Kitwanga fence. This fish would have been captured for scale and length sampling, and to determine sex.
The second most effective capture method was dipnetting at the Cranberry River falls. This site is a known partial barrier to upstream salmon migration.
Prior to installation of the smolt fence, the concrete sill is all that remains in the river over winter.
