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. Check out the Jeff Carson
report below.
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
