SUMMARY:

Weather was fair all week. Lots of sun shine, some rain 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. 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.

The Kitimat River has been up and down in river height this week with some rain that we have received. The water clarity has been marginal at times but the fishing has been very good for both Steelhead and Trout.

Douglas Channel; with the nicer weather forecast for the weekend many more boats are de-winterizing and heading out for Dungeness and King Crab. There have been mixed results this week with King Crab. 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. 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 noel@noelgyger.ca anytime
