Snorkel surveys were conducted in 2014 and 2015 to enumerate adult steelhead Oncorhynchus mykiss within 10 index streams across Southeast Alaska. This is a continuation of a long-term project that began in 1997 to monitor region wide trends in the spawning abundance of steelhead within Southeast Alaska. Snorkel surveys were conducted between mid-April and late May during expected peak inriver abundance. A total of 27 surveys were conducted in 2014 and 30 in 2015. Peak survey counts (counts bracketed between lower counts) were successfully achieved in 6 index streams during 2014, and 6 index streams during 2015. Survey counts across index streams were collectively used to calculate the regional abundance index, which indicated abundance in 2014 and 2015 was slightly lower but very near the long-term average. Water temperature was monitored in index streams during 2014 and 2015.
