Weekly Fishing Reports (Smithers, Terrace, Kitimat, Prince Rupert and Meziadin North)
Noel Gyger March 20 to 27, 2011
Dear Fishing Friends:
SUMMARY: Weather was excellent all week. Lots of sun shine and warm day time temperatures. Fishing Guiding started on March 15th on the Kalum River.
The Skeena River is in good shape. The ice and snow are melting fast. This river usually has a very good run of spring Steelhead. So get out there and try your luck. The Trout and Dolly Varden Char are available year round. The Kalum River is in good shape and fishing for Steelhead is excellent.
The Zymoetz (Copper) River is in good shape and fishing for Steelhead is fair. Most of the ice flows are gone. The upper section closed for fishing on January 1st.
The Lakelse River is in good shape and fishing for Steelhead and Trout is
fair.
Kitimat River; the warm and sunny weather conditions have been outstanding so far this week and many anglers have been out fishing on the Kitimat River. Trout fishing has been unbelievable and there have been a few Steelhead also reported.
Douglas Channel; a few boaters made their first trip of the season. The first trip is usually to test drive the boat and to do some crabbing. Many boaters have indicated that they plan to fish for Halibut early this season. See Important Halibut Information below. Check out the Ron Wakita report below.
Prince Rupert; with the beautiful weather were having it looks and sounds like this weekend should see lots of fisherman heading out for some fun on the water. Everybody is getting their boats dusted off and ready for another season. Can't wait for the fishing reports to start rolling in.

River Reports
Kalum River Is in good shape both upper and lower end and fishing for Steelhead and Trout is excellent. Both spin and fly is working well. My son-in-law Dennis Therrien was on the river and reports some good "hook-ups" with Steelhead and Trout. One of his fish made this weeks Photo of the Week. Pro angling guide Andrew Rushton, fishing on his own, did well also.
Lakelse River Is in fair shape and fishing for Steelhead is fair. Trout fishing is starting to turn on.
Lakelse Lake Please be careful as the ice will be getting thinner.
Skeena River The Skeena River has some ice flows, ice ledges and is frozen over in some locations. Please be careful walking on the ice. Steelhead and Trout can be caught at some locations. There will be a spring run of Steelhead starting now.
Zymoetz (Copper) River The water is in fair shape to fish right now. There are some ice flows. The river is frozen over in some locations. Fishing for Steelhead is fair. Reminder: No fishing above the sign at the transmission line crossing (below) Zymoetz Canyon Jan 1 – June 15. You can still fish below the sign all winter.
Zymagotitz (Zymacord) River The water is in fair shape and access has improved with the melting snow. Fishing for Cutthroat Trout and Dolly Varden Char is good. This river has some big Bull Trout and a fair run of Steelhead.

News Bulletin
March 23, 2011 re: special prices for spring Steelhead and summer Chinook Salmon.
The fishing guides are a happy lot these days as most of them started their season on March 15th. A few guides have been test fishing and are very happy with their catches.
There seems to be a lot of Steelhead holding over from last summer and fall in the Kalum River. This river has all four seasonal runs (spring, summer, fall and winter)
A few guides have offered a discount on the price for spring Steelhead. Cast on the Bookmark: Guided Fishing – Special Price.
Chinook (King) Salmon will be coming into our rivers soon starting in the mainstem Skeena River. We have hooked them early in the Kalum River around mid April. Kitimat River around mid May.

Wanted to Buy
I have a client who is interested in property of 5-10 acres or larger on the Skeena River or one of the tribs, not too far out from Terrace BC. Need winter access, hydro and phone connection, or at least wireless coverage. He wants to be able to walk down to the river with his Spey rod and fish, so Skeena 4 would be ideal, but no farther than USK. If you have larger acreage that is sub-dividable to suit my client please Contact Noel Gyger [email protected]

Hi Noel, I have a client/friend that I've been fishing with in the Terrace and Smithers area for the past 10 years. We have been looking recently at land in order to put up a small fishing cabin but we've noticed that most land listings in the Terrace area are for large plots. I was wondering if you know of anyone that has a larger plot of land on the Skeena (around Usk would be perfect) that would be interested in subdividing out a section of about 1 or 2 acres. Walking access to Skeena would be nice but not necessary.
I would be able to handle the legal work and associated costs to subdivide, so I just need someone who might be interested in selling off a small piece of their land that they aren't using. Also, it would need to have vehicle access which we could do by registered right of way across sellers prop if unavailable otherwise. Contact Noel Gyger if you have such property and I will put you in contact with the buyer. [email protected]
