Connor Sabo Fishing Reports for August 3, 2017 at 9:38am

Fishing has been on and off this year! The Chinook stocks are definitely not doing as good as they usually are and most sport fishermen are coming up empty handed this season. I have not done good myself! But with that being said I decided to focus on fly fishing and leave the bigger Chinooks alone to try and let them spawn so we have future stocks!

Im glad that Skeena Waters Fly Shop came into town and recently started his new business this past Winter. Francesco only focuses on Fly fishing and he has the best gear and Deals around. He also has the knowledge to go with the gear, It is a must see when you come to Terrace!

I was able to get out the past couple days and the Fly fishing is quite good. As I am hooking over 30 and 40 fish a day Between Pinks, sockeye, coho and the odd jack spring and steelhead! The year is starting to shape up and the fish numbers are picking up as well so I'm thinking it will only get better from here!

For fishermen coming to town and need a nice place to stay and eat I highly recommend Best Western Terrace Inn. They have special prices for fishermen! For more info contact them directly at 1-800-488-1898 (US & Canada only) or 1-250-635-0083

Connor Sabo Fishing Reports for August 14, 2017 at 1:54pm

Fishing is GOOD !!!!!

Connor Sabo Fishing Reports for August 16, 2017 at 9:26am

Fishing is still pretty good! Today I caught so many sockeye I just stopped counting, it must have been near 30, also countless number of Pink Salmon. The Coho was slim pickings for me as I did not land any but did hook 2 of them and also seen another 2 landed beside me. I did land a nice steelhead which was very fresh and put up quite the fight! It was a good day!!

Would you like to catch fish like this in this time period? If so, you may want consider booking with a fishing guide who can show you how? I know all the best guides; just contact me Csabo@connorsabofishingreports.ca anytime and I will set it up for you...

Stay tuned, more reports coming soon...

Skeena River:

Skeena River is divided into four sections:

Skeena 1 (non-classified) Exchamsiks River downstream to the ocean.

Skeena 2 (class 2 water) Exchamsiks River upstream to 1.5 km above Kalum River.

Skeena 3 (non-classified) 1.5 km above the Kalum River upstream to 1.5 km above Zymoetz River.

Skeena 4 (class 2 water) 1.5 km above Zymoetz River upstream to the head-waters.

Mon September 25/17  6:04am

The Copper is muddy causing the lower Skeena to be muddy too. Upper Skeena looks good. Steelhead, Coho, Sockeye and Pink are coming in. Closed for Chinook in an area near Terrace BC, the area is from Lakelse River mouth upstream to the Skeena River Overpass (New Hwy Bridge) at Ferry Island.

Skeena River recreational sockeye fishery opens

Opens in certain areas only and has a daily limit

http://www.terracestandard.com/news/skeena-river-recreational-sockeye-fishery-opens/

Skeena River pic taken on September 11th. Note: Really, really dirty!  Too much rain :-(

Noel Gyger opinion: The DFO “last minute” notice to close all Salmon fishing on the Skeena River from June 15 to July 14, 2017 should not have happened. We all want to conserve Salmon so I think a better option would have been a total catch and release fishery with all using the “keep-em- wet”. Catch and release worked for wild Steelhead so why not Salmon? Let me know if you agree or not?

Commentary - not current fishing report: I (Noel Gyger) have over 40 years experience fishing the Skeena River this time of year, 3rd week August. In my opinion it is absolutely "prime-time" to catch the most summer-run Steelhead and Coho. In my days of guiding we used to catch over 30 Steelhead and 15 Coho or so per day for our guests (as long as we had good water conditions). Why did we catch more Steelhead than Coho, when there are more Coho in the river, and the "theory is" the Steelhead are a Trout and are still feeding and the Coho are not, which means any bait or fly you put in front of a Steelhead they more likely to bite it. I've had many reports of good catches at China bar and a few other hot spots. One has to know where and "how to fish" these hot-spots, I highly recommend you book with a fishing guide. GOOD NEWS, check the Skeena River Tyee Test Fishery charts and you should be thrilled to see the Steelhead and Coho runs are well above the historical seasonal averages. So get out there my fishing friends and enjoy the great water and weather conditions. Send me a pic of your catch, I would love to post them in this fishing report.

Why Fishing is Good for Your Health

Its summer and it’s a Saturday. Do you have any plans? If you don’t yet, I suggest you go fishing. Make sure to bring friends and family with you so you can enjoy their company.

You can choose to go out in the ocean in your boat to go fishing or perhaps drive your truck to the river to fly fishing. Either way, you’ll be having loads of fun.

Make sure to stock your cooler with some drinks and food for barbecuing, and you will be all set for fishing for eight hours.

There are many health benefits to fishing this special guide trips. Some of the health benefits are fishing will help you stay fit, it is fun, it will keep you stress-free, you can socialize with family and friends, and it will improve your dexterity and concentration.

Fishing will help you stay fit

When you go fishing, you will be utilizing your main muscle groups, your heart, and lungs. They will be getting a good work out. Fishing is good for your health because you will be exercising when you are trekking to and from the car. This exercise will provide you with lower aerobic activity.

Your forearms, wrists, and fingers are also going to be getting some exercise. Make sure to choose the perfect fishing reel when you go fishing, so you do not hurt your arms. If you go fishing, you will not need to go to the gym.

We would like to thank Terry Best for sending this GREAT pic of his catch in his home province of Saskatchewan. My guess it is a Pike:-) To explain further, Terry plans to come to our area soon to try and catch our BIG Chinook and Chum Salmon. We wish him GOOD LUCK !!

Mon Jun 26/17  6:39am

Christene Sinjur with about a 15-pound Chinook landed on the Kitimat River June 4th. It was caught in the lower Dyke section.

Hi Noel, Just had an amazing trip exploring the Morice, Bulkley, Lower Skeena, and Nass Watersheds. Lots of intense bushwhacking but I was rewarded with a bunch of Coho and my fair share of big summer-run Steelies.

Here are a couple pics from a Nass Trib....hope you enjoy! Cheers, Hedin Nelson-Chorney

Kalum River:

Mon September 25/17  5:53am

Coho (Silver) Salmon plus summer and fall runs of Steelhead coming in now! You have a chance to catch both Coho and Steelhead on the same day. Does not get any better than that! Closed to Chinook fishing. Check out this story I wrote, many years ago now but still relevant: May 2nd on the Kalum – by Noel Gyger  Guiding started April 1st. This is classified water and the guiding is limited. If you need a guide to show you how and where just contact me anytime. Note: NEW reg this year: Bait ban Jan 1 - June 15.

Kalum River pic taken on September 11th. High and very, very dirty :-(

We called this boat our "Super Boat" it was a 19 foot fibreglass drift boat with wooden frame completely covered in plastic. We had a propane heater, kept us toasty warm and we kept Steelheading all winter no matter what the weather. Sorry this pic does not show much of it. I thought I had better pics, I searched my files today but could not find them. The angler above is Terry Munday; I think the temperature outside was -12C. I took this pic from the Podcast:

The Podcast was all about the members of the Kalum Drifting Club and all the fun we had :-)

Note: in those days we didn't take many pics using the current "Keep `em Wet, but we did care and tried to keep the Steelhead out of the water for no more than a couple of seconds if at all.  Long live our wild Steelhead...

In May of 1991 I did a TV fishing show on the Kalum River with Larry Schoenborn FISHING THE WEST fame! Wow, that was 26 years ago and my beard is not full gray and look at those neoprene waders:-) Our plan was to catch both Chinook and Steelhead on the same day and I must say "we did it" !

VIDEO INFO:  I had the pleasure of fishing with Calvin Higano, Ron Wakita and Glen Kilcup on the Kalum River on Tuesday morning, April 20, 2010 for about four hours. Glen invited us on this trip with his Jet boat crack of dawn. We hooked 4 Steelhead and landed 2 plus a bunch of Trout. We landed one Steelhead using a silver BC Steel spoon with 3 OTT Gamagatsu http://rapala.ca Siwash hook rigged up on a 7' Trophy XL rod http://redlsports.com and an Abu Cardinal 704 http://www.purefishing.com Spinning reel spooled up with 30lb Tuff line Duracast http://www.tuf-line.com This rod and reel Combo handled this Kalum River Steelhead very nicely and was caught and released using Gibbs Catch and Release Net http://www.gibbsfishing.com The Gibbs C & R Net has a very soft mesh which allows anglers to net Steelhead and release them unharmed back into the river. Calvin landed the other Steelhead using a Sage 2106 rod and a Shimano Calcutta 250TE reel http://fish.shimano.com Calvin was the "Hot Rod" on this trip! Calvin landed one and had another 2 Steelhead on which released themselves (AKA long-line-release) after a bit of a tussle. Calvin is a very gifted angler who has brought some very effective Steelheading techniques to the North West. One of his techniques Calvin calls "Dredging" and another would be the method which he cures his bait. Calvin uses Pautzkse's Pink Fire Cure on both his Chinook roe and on his Prawn bait. As most Steelheaders already know the quality of the bait is critical to Angler success. A huge THANK YOU to Glen for an awesome morning fishing trip on the Kalum!

Here is some info on Glens custom Rocket Jet Boat: This boat has a top speed 48 MPH with 450 HP pushing water through a Hamilton Jet with a 10 inch impeller. When this thing takes-off, hold your hat and hang on! The Teflon bolted to the bottom of the boat allowed us to skim over the shallowest of water.

Lakelse River Bridge:

Mon September 25/17   5:52am

Is one of the most popular fishing spots in Terrace. Used to be sign on the bridge No Fishing off the Bridge but many people were. I heard a Chinook was landed early this morning. My good friend the late Lester Bryant used to say the fish will be here when the cotton wood flies. The cotton wood is flying now. He would also say this fishing spot should be for people over 65 and kids under 6 only. Wise words, we think. Another gentleman I fondly remember is the late Bill Buck. Bill and his family were the unofficial caretakers of the forestry campsite. Then there was the late Casey (who had to be first on the bridge early morning) would often comment "ridiculous" to just about everything. Sometimes, beer, wine and singing in the late afternoon. Did I say it was fun times? Answer YES and my wish...that it continue forever...as long the salmon keep coming it will be so.

CAMPING: There is a rough forestry campsite close to the bridge. When my kids were

young we camped there often. We have many fond memories. Met some wonderful people there too. Tip: Fishing off the bridge with a Marabou jig is the most popular, so is a Hot Shot or KwikFish plug.

FOR EVERYONE'S SAFETY: Please get off the bridge when large trucks and equipment are crossing. This bridge has a wide deck sitting on a central pair of girders, and is designed to have the load travel the centre of the bridge. When a truck has to move over because someone didn't want to get out of their lawn chair it endangers everyone on the bridge by putting the load off-centre. In some cases, especially lowbeds with excavators etc on them are too wide to pass without people moving. Thank you.

Kasiks River:

Skeena trib non-classified approx 70km West of Terrace BC with a maintained public boat launch (west side of river). If you drove another few KM and look to your left on the Skeena you would see anglers and maybe their camper trailers, this is locally known as China Bar. One of the BEST spots I have ever fished this time of year for Steelhead and Coho. One can camp at Snow Bound Creek and launch their boat; located left off Hwy 16 just past China Bar. The launch is a little rough so be careful watch out for all the rocks that can hang up or damage your boat trailer; this is tidal water, so don't leave your boat in water overnight, it may be high and dry up the bank in the morning. Nice place to camp; room for 4-5 camper trailers. It's this time of year when the Coho (Silver) Salmon start to enter the Kasiks river. For the most success start fishing the lower end along the deep cut banks, cliffs and trees that are jammed in the river. The Coho like to hold in these places and wait for a bump in water height to move upstream. Normally this is a pretty rainy time and when it rain heavy it will colour up the river and when it just starts to clean that's the best time to get fishing and try your luck. A guiding guest of mine, many years ago now, told me this was the most beautiful river he has ever seen...and I totally agree. Caution: don't travel up this river in low water, you will get hung up or worse crash; wait until you are sure there is enough water! Be safe, not sorry...

Exchamsiks River:

Skeena trib non-classified approx 49km West of Terrace BC with a maintained public boat launch (west side of river). Provincial Park open most of the summer season, nice place to camp, cliff and waterfall views are outstanding. It's that time of year again when the Coho (Silver) Salmon start to enter this river. For the most success start fishing the lower end along the deep cut banks, cliffs and trees that are jammed in the river. The Coho like to hold in these places and wait for a bump in water height to move upstream. Normally this is a pretty rainy time and when it rain heavy it will colour up the river and when it just starts to clean that's the best time to get fishing and try your luck.

Exstew River:

Skeena trib non-classified approx 30km West of Terrace BC with a maintained public boat launch (west side of river just past the bridge). It's that time of year again when the Coho (Silver) Salmon start to enter this river. For the most success start fishing the lower end along the deep cut banks, cliffs and trees that are jammed in the river. The Coho like to hold in these places and wait for a bump in water height to move upstream. Normally this is a pretty rainy time and when it rain heavy it will colour up the river and when it just starts to clean that's the best time to get fishing and try your luck.

Zymacord renamed Zymagotitz:

Skeena trib non-classified approx 3km West of Terrace river right, boat launch near the mouth not maintained. This is a very good Coho river in the fall and a very good Steelhead river in the spring. For Coho fish the mouth where is dumps into the Skeena, the later in fall go upstream, especially around the old ski hill area. Lovely area to walk and wade.

Shames River:

Skeena trib non-classified approx 30km West of Terrace river right. This is a very small running river, should really be called a creek, not much Salmon fishing above Highway 16 but fishing the mouth for Coho, Pink and Trout usually pretty good in the summer and fall.

Ecstall River:

Skeena trib Class 2 water all year 30 km East of Prince Rupert, Steelhead Stamp not required unless angling for Steelhead. Absolutely "prime-time" now to fish for Coho. BEST to hire a guide, which are very limited, as it is a long jet boat right up to the fishing grounds. Once there you are in paradise. Helicopter can bring you up to the guide camp quickly (used to be tent camp). Very beautiful area. Lots of late run Chinook in the river now but you must  let the go, "keep-em-wet", just do your best, don't target them.  Harold Kossler of Komaham Lodge had the best camp ever, but Harold has retired now. If you need a guide contact me anytime. If you want to do it yourself you can launch your jet boat just below the Tyee Test Fishery. I have lots of memories fishing this river, this time of year, with my friend Rick Wallace local angler from Terrace BC.ed a guide for Ecstall River - thank you

Gitnadoix River:

Skeena trib Class 1 water Provincial Park approx 31km West of Terrace river left. Launch your jet boat at the Exchamsiks boat ramp. This ramp is maintained. You can also launch off Hwy 16 "left side" at around 28km which is a Skeena side channel that flows to mainstem. This is a very, very good Coho river in the fall and a very, very good Steelhead river in the spring. PLEASE note this is a very rough, turbulent river that changes channels with just about every high water; so please use extreme caution when running jet boat, Just when you thought you had the route figured out - it changes. Many jet boat have crashed. This is not a river for novice jet boaters. Take Care - Be Safe!

Kleanza Creek:

Skeena trib non-classified Provincial Park (picnic and camp) approx 18km East of Terrace river left. No fishing for Steelhead or Salmon (some Trout and Dolly Varden available) within the creek but a good spot to fish is right at the mouth where it dumps into the Skeena. If Skeena is dirty fish the clean seam from the Creek. No place to launch a boat. Note: up creek there is a road leads to the "famous" Kleanza Creek Water Falls. It is truly beautiful, a place everyone must go see.  Google for pics :-)

Kitimat River & Douglas Channel:

Mon September 25/17  5:52am 

Kitimat River; Water in fair shape now and people are starting to catch Coho again.

NEWS: District of Kitimat Council voted Monday September 18  five to two to create a “working group” of “concerned citizens and community groups” to consider the future of riverbank camping along the Kitimat river. The working group will consider issues such as access to the river, pollution and how to control extended camping along the river.

Cast here for more information.

Douglas Channel; is fishing well for Salmon and Bottom fish. Halibut fishing is outstanding and drop your Crab traps.

Recommended Fly Fishing Gear:

Courtesy Chad Black Nicholas Dean Outdoors

In the low water conditions of early April, we generally used light sink tips to cover the shallow riffles and tailouts where Steelhead were holding.  Type 3 and Type 6 tips were generally all that was needed for most conditions.  With the higher flows of late Spring, and

in particular on the tributary rivers, we've also been using Rio's MOW tips in a variety of weights and lengths to get the fly down to the fish.  The Heavy MOW tips, made of T-14 material, have been particularly useful, in lengths of 5, 7.5, 10 and 12.5 ft.

As with March, best colours have been pink, black, blue and orange.  When fishing the Skeena and its tribs, larger flies from 2.5" to 4" in length have been most productive.  Smaller flies in a variety of weights in the 1" to 2.5" range have worked the best on coastal rivers. 

When targeting Steelhead, we've been using rods in the 12.5' to 13.5' ft range, for a 7 or 8 weight line on the larger rivers. Our personal favourites for this fishing include the 7126 Sage TCX and the 8139 Loomis Dredger.  When targeting Chinook specifically, we've been using heavier 9 and 10 weight rods in the 13' to 15' range.  Single hand rods and switch rods have gotten the nod on the coastal rivers.  In particular, I had a chance to fish a 8116 Sage One

rod and can confirm that it's a very good rod that's ideally suited to the coast!

Rods, Reels, Lines: For Steelhead - Spey rods in the 12' to 14' range, with a Skagit head to match.  A 7126 TCX paired with a 500 grain Skagit Flight and Loomis  8139 Dredger with a 525 grain Skagit are excellent choices.  A good quality disc or cork drag reel (e.g. Islander and Ross) with a minimum of 150 yards of 30 lb backing.  For Spring Chinook Salmon, same

as above, except with heavier gear - 9 weight minimum, 10 weight better.

Sink Tips and Tippet: A 15' Type III and 15' Type VI for most shallow water applications,

and a variety of MOW tips - medium (T-11) and heavy (T-14) for deeper and/or heavier water.  Always 15 lb Maxima Ultragreen for Steelhead.  Increase tippet to 20 lb Maxima Ultragreen

if targeting Spring Chinook.

Flies: Idylwilde String Leech, Bunny Tube, Marabou Tube and Popsickle, in shrimp pink, cerise, black, blue and orange.  

If you need info to book a pro fishing guide please contact me anytime.

Prince Rupert Ocean Fishing:

Salmon and Halibut fishing out of the port of Prince Rupert has been simply outstanding. One charter guide reports landing over 20 Chinook but of course his clients kept only their legal limit, plus they kept their limit on Dungeness Crab. If you would like to book an ocean trip just contact me anytime and I will do my best to get it all set up for you.

Effective 00:01 hours July 15, 2017, recreational fishing opens for Skeena 

River Chinook, coho and pink salmon. Recreational fishing for sockeye and chum

salmon, only one of which can be over 65 cm, in the entire Skeena River 

watershed.

2. The Skeena River mainstem, upstream of the Sustut River and at the Kitwanga 

and Kispiox River mouths, will be closed to chinook fishing.

3. All tributaries and lakes of the Skeena River will be closed to chinook 

fishing, except for sections of the Babine, Bulkley, Kitsumkalum, Morice and 

Sustut Rivers. 

4. The entire Skeena River watershed will be closed to chinook fishing on
