Tip&Trick Description 1:
When fishing for aggressive or active pike try using shallow running stick bait and retrieve the lure until it is about 10-15 feet away from the boat/pier. Then give it a jerk. The lure will create a bright flash that triggers the pike to bite. This technique works best in clear to mildly clear or stained water. You can try this for bass too. |

Weekly Fishing Reports (Smithers, Terrace, Kitimat, Prince Rupert and Meziadin North)
Noel Gyger
January 2 to January 9, 2011
Dear Fishing Friends:
SUMMARY: Normal winter fishing weather all week for winter Steelhead, Cutthroat Trout and Dolly Varden Char. The average day time temperature was plus1 degree Celsius. There has been a little snow and rain but not much wind.
The Skeena River is in good shape but full of ice flows and frozen over in spots. Be very careful walking on the ice ledges! There may be some Steelhead wintering over in some locations. The Trout and Dolly Varden Char are available year round.
The Kalum River is low and in good shape and fishing for Steelhead is good.
The Zymoetz (Copper) River is in poor shape with lots of ice flows and ice ledges. If you can find open water the Steelhead fishing should be pretty good. The upper section closed for fishing on January 1st.
The Lakelse River is in good shape and fishing for Steelhead and Trout is fair. Lake ice fishing has started and the fishing is good. Beware of thin ice! See a full lake report below.
The Kitimat River has produced excellent numbers of Trout and higher than normal numbers of Steelhead so far this season. The catch rates to date have been influenced by the favorable weather and river conditions. This week the river conditions were good but the weather was wet and cold. The hard core anglers who braved the elements were rewarded with pretty good catch numbers of Trout and the odd Steelhead.
Douglas Channel; Lori from MK Bay Marina received reports of increased numbers of Whales, Sea Lions and Porpoises roaming around the Douglas Channel. Lori also observed larger numbers of Sea Gulls circling above the water in the Kitimat Harbour. These are typical signs of the Herring and/or Baitfish moving into the Kitimat Harbor. I think it is a month too early for the main Herring spawning season but there definitely signs of larger numbers of Herring or Baitfish moving up the Douglas Channel into the Kitimat Harbor. Unfortunately this week's strong winds have prevented boaters to get out fishing for Winter Chinook that are normally follow the Herring or Bait fish. The winds were so strong that Lori reports that she had to lock the front door of the
Mk Marina Restaurant and Store to keep the wind from blowing it open. With more favorable winds in the forecast many boaters were heading out this weekend to find out what the Sea animals are chasing. Check out the Ron Wakita report below. Prince Rupert has fantastic Winter Chinook fishing, weather depending. If you would like to book a comfortable, warm Charter Boat for Winter Chinook and Dungeness Crab in Kitimat or Prince Rupert please contact me noel@noelgyger.ca anytime.
River Reports
Kalum River Is in good shape both upper and lower end and fishing for Steelhead is excellent. Both spin and fly is working well. It is a little cold but don’t let that deter you from going fishing. Even though the weather has been cold this river usually does not freeze over. It has something to do with the warming of the water flowing out of Kalum Lake. It will freeze if the water level drops very low and if it stays cold and starts snowing heavily. If it is cold enough the snow will not melt when it hits the water. The flowing snow clumps together and jams when it hits the rocks and boulders. The river current in some places nearly stops flowing and if it remains cold it will freeze over in these areas that are like lakes. This seems to happen every few years or so. Reminder: Bait ban Jan 1 – Mar 15
Lakelse River Is in good shape and fishing for Steelhead and Trout is good. Both spin and fly is working well.
Lakelse Lake Ice fishing has started and catches of Trout is excellent. See the Ron Wakita below.
Skeena River The Skeena River is full of ice flows, ice ledges and is frozen over in some locations. Please be careful walking on the ice. Fishing for Steelhead is over. There may be some Trout available.
28pm
Zymoetz (Copper) River The water is low and in good shape but has substantial ice flows and is frozen over in some locations. I have had reports of excellent Steelhead catches using both spin, conventional and fly gear. 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.
