Description: We radio-tagged mature cutthroat trout leaving Sitkoh Lake in the spring of 1996 to track them from their overwintering site to their natal streams. Thirty fish were successfully tracked and 27 of those went to one stream at the head of Sitkoh Bay. The other three were tracked into two small streams on the north shore of Peril Strait. Regurgitation was a considerable problem in this study, with 31 of the original 56 tags being regurgitated in lower Sitkoh Creek. All fish were held for 24 hours after tag insertion, but only 6 tags were regurgitated during the holding period.
