The photo of the week shows my nephew Justin (Judge) Gyger with a very fresh early run Kalum River Chinook Salmon. This fish was caught in early May. For conservation purposes, all Chinook Salmon over 65 cm must be released. Both Steelhead and Chinook can be hooked on the same day.
Dear Fishing Friends:
The weather has not been great. The air temperatures have been cold during the week making it uncomfortable for fishing although it did warm up on the weekend but now we have the rain. The upper Kalum, lower Copper and Skeena are still in good shape. Fishing on the Kitimat River and Douglas Channel has started.
If I can be of service to find you the “best” guided fishing adventure let me know. Cast here to check out more of what I have to offer: http://noelgyger.ca/special-guided.htm
Be sure to check out my website at www.noelgyger.ca for more info on my history, Quality Waters Strategy, special guided fishing trips, video clips, scenic river photos, wildlife photos and others, comments from past guests, informational articles and archived fishing reports from 1996 through 2002. I hope it meets with your entire satisfaction.
CURRENT REPORT and summary:
Access to rivers is getting better as the snow melt has begun.
Type of fish caught: Steelhead
Thank you for using barbless hooks.
Fishing this week: FAIR
Water conditions: good on all rivers, low and clean
Snow conditions: average one foot on the ground
Skeena River: fishing for early run spring Steelhead has begun.
Kalum River: has an “excellent” run of Steelhead. These fish are wintering over and will spawn in late spring. The water is low and clean. This is a Classified River year round and can be guided from March 15 through October 15 only. The Steelhead record is 32-pounds.
Kitimat River: Although the grip of winter seems to be still holding on, there have been a few days when a few hard core anglers have been able to venture out and catch some trout. Ariel and Pat (local anglers) drifted in pontoon boats and were able to catch five cutthroat trout. They drifted from the 'Wash Out' to the 'Pump House' (approx. eight miles) and never saw another angler but they spotted six moose. Last weekend Donny Webber while fishing for trout was fortunate to catch a Steelhead. 'It was a 12lb. Wild Steelhead so I released it' says Donny. The Kitimat River has a retention fishery of one Hatchery Steelhead per day. The main Steelhead run usually starts in late March peaking sometime in April and carrying over into May. Report by Ron Wakita
Zymoetz (Copper) River: is closed now for angling (as of December 31, 2006 above the lower canyon) to protect the “wintering over” wild Steelhead. Winter fishing is still available on the lower end below the canyon.
Note: additional rivers will be added “in season” when the fishing begins in the spring.
Ocean fishing Prince Rupert: good fishing for winter springs (Chinook) is now happening in Prince Rupert. A summary of what is available year round can be read in the Archived Fishing Report dated April 13, 1997. For a direct link cast here: http://noelgyger.ca/archived-fishing-reports/Old Fishing Reports 1997.doc Prince Rupert, being a coastal city, is always warmer than Terrace.
Ocean fishing Kitimat Douglas Channel: More schools of herring have been migrating into the Kitimat Harbour with only the Seals, Sea Gulls and undoubtedly feeder Chinook taking advantage of the migration. Rivtow Marine staff (who work right on the water) have reported signs of herring for a few days now but 'No Boats'
The only report of fishing the Salt water is a local Kitimaat Village resident, Crosby Smith who was rewarded with a 28lb. Chinook. 'It was a fat, tasty bugger' says Crosby who dined on his catch the same day that he caught it'. They certainly don't get much fresher than that not to mention the nutritional value of the Omega 3 protein contained in these feeder Chinook. It has been a long winter and it appears to be fish in the Kitimat area we can only hope for better weather to be able to catch some. Report by Ron Wakita
GOOD LUCK and GOOD FISHING!
Yours sincerely,
Noel F. Gyger
