Fishing Report from Noel Gyger http:// www.noelgyger.ca for Monday January 23, 2012 Terrace and Kitimat

Current LIVE Fishing Report can be read anytime 24-7 at: http://www.noelgyger.ca/current-fishing-reports.htm

Commentary: The extreme cold weather is gone, for now? It is warm enough to go fishing for Steelhead and Trout. If you go please be careful wading on the ice shelves and stay warm and safe.

Skeena River: Water is barely fishable. Lots of ice flow in the river . Some great Steelhead can still be had, plus some good Trout Fishing. Be careful walking on the ice near the edge of the river. Reg: all wild Steelhead everywhere in British Columbia are catch and release.

Kalum River: Both the lower and upper sections are in good shape. Watch for ice shelves in the deep pools. A good run of Steelhead is in the river now.

Lakelse River: The water is in good shape and fishing for Steelhead, Trout is fair.

Zymoetz (Copper) River: Water is full of floating ice, makes for tough fishing. Facts: Last year we had a record run of Steelhead, let's hope at least we have another good run this year….so far so good.

Kitimat River: Trout fishing is fair where the river is free of ice.

Hi Noel, we had a great day fishing on the Kalum yesterday February 4th. With warm temperatures and sunny skies it was a good time to be on the river. In a few hours we had hooked several Steelhead and some nice Trout. I have attached a photo of Deanna Ta

Area Reporting: Northwest British Columbia Canada

Bio: My fishing and guiding history I was born in Smithers, B.C. Canada on December 25, 1946. I grew up there and fished the whole northwest area with my Grandpa, Percival (Percy) Benjamin Emerson. He loved to fly fish. His favorite Trout fly was the Royal Coachman. He built a cabin on Babine Lake where I spent most of my summer school holidays fishing and enjoying the outdoors. Thanks to him, I am hooked on "Sportfishing" and I've come to love every aspect of it. My lifetime goals are to save the wild Salmon, Steelhead and Trout of the entire northwest area of British Columbia and establish a "Quality" sport fishing guiding industry. These are lofty goals but I will strive every day to achieve them. They are "my life long calling". I have been married for 39 years and have three daughters and seven grandchildren. I am the owner of Noel Gyger - Weekly Fishing Report and Guided Fishing Adventures of 4012 Best Street, Terrace, BC Canada V8G 5R8 Tel/Fax (250) 635-2568 Cell (250) 631-2678 E-mail noel@noelgyger.ca Website www.noelgyger.ca I started fishing the Terrace area in the 1970's. On May 24, 1983 I assisted my friend to land an 83-pound Chinook on the Kalum River. It was the river record. That experience changed my life and I started into the fish guiding industry and began exploring and fishing rivers by jet boat. I pioneered drift boats on the Kalum and Kitimat Rivers and taught many folks how to row them. I've owned a fishing lodge and guide business (Northwest Fishing Guides & Lodge) along with my wife from 1986 to 2001 when we sold it and retired but my love for the industry is just too great and after five years - I am back.
