Lake, Ocean & River Fishing: 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! 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!!
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.
Thu August 17/17 6:04am Skeena River in good shape, milkey colour. 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. Steelhead, Coho and Pink are now coming in. Please don't target Sockeye or Chum.
Skeena River pic taken on July 26th. Note: seems very odd not to see a whole bunch of Sockeye fishermen at this spot this time of year, very sad :-(
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.

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: Thu August 17/17 5:53am 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 July 26th. High but is very good shape :-)
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:
http://www.noelgyger.ca/Podcast/podcast0006.mov The Podcast was all about the members of the Kalum Drifting Club and all the fun we had :-) To watch ALL the Podcasts cast on this link: http://www.noelgyger.ca/podcast.htm 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" !

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!

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. 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. 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. 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.
Fish from this Grady White for ALL the bottom fish plus ALL the Salmon, Dungeness Crab and Alaskan King Crab...with a captain who has over 40 years experience. If you are interested to book a charter please contact me anytime for ALL the details.

Feds want input on fish regulation
By Jackie Lieuwen -
Terrace Standard Newspaper
Fisheries and
Oceans Canada is seeking public input on fishing regulations, part
of a consultation process reviewing the way they regulate fisheries
and conserve habitat.
The federal
department released a discussion paper which builds on input from
Phase I consultations and outlines a proposed revised approach for
federal fishing regulation.
Canadians have until Aug. 28
to share their view at
www. discussionpaper.ca
The federal
government and the paper on the table for discussion is based on the
first phase of public consultations, as well as expert panel reports
and parliamentary studies, which started last January.
In the first
phase of consultation, called "Let's Talk Fish Habitat", the public
identified lost protections they wanted restored, as well as modern
approaches they want the government to take to protest fish.
Anglers and the
Canadian public concerned about fishing are encouraged to provide
their input and help improve the Fisheries Act, which directs how
the federal government manages fisheries and protects fish habitat.
The federal
government manages salmon in both salt and fresh water, all fish
licenses in tidal waters and the province manages freshwater fish
and inland salmon sport fishing

Dennis Therrien, local angler, in Terrace BC offers a summery of the
Skeena River Tyee Test Fishery regarding history of the
Chinook and Steelhead runs:
The Chinook daily numbers on
June 12 for 2010 – 2016 was: 3.18, 4.23, 1.34, 1.21, 1.19, 2.21 &
0.61. According to the Tyee Test Fishery Chinook has been trending
down for years, which can be seen on this chart.
http://www.noelgyger.ca/H2O/Non-Tidal/TyeeTestFishery/Charts/SkeenaChinookYears.pdf
On a brighter note, Steelhead
are doing well and have been trending up since 1956.

British Columbia's Family Fishing Weekend is a
celebration of the great
tradition of sport fishing. On June 16, 17 and 18, 2017, the
public can go
fishing at no cost in many of BC’s lakes and rivers. The Government
of Canada
is also providing an opportunity to fish at no cost (these dates
only) in all tidal waters; for these dates a Tidal Water Sports
Fishing licence is NOT
required to fish in BC tidal waters except for species and area
restrictions as
specified. This is applicable to both adults and juveniles
(children aged
15 and under), as well as to Canadian residents and non-residents.

Rainbow Alley is still fishing well. With the hot weather there
has been a great stonefly hatch!
Bluebirds!! That's what it's been out on the coast the past
week. It got a little windy this weekend but other than that
it's been great weather, which usually translates into great
fishing opportunities. Coho are around in numbers out on the
coast right now and most fishermen are having no problem filling
their limits. The odd chinook is still around and we are seeing
a few of them mixed in with all the coho. Cutter Rocks and
Squatarie have been very productive over the past week. We've
also had reports that Indian Head at the mouth of the Work
Channel has been very good when trolling a cut plug herring.
Closure reminder:
Recreational chinook salmon fishing in the Nass River watershed is
closed
effective July 28, 2017 until further notice.
Chinook fishing has slowed down a bit from the first week, but
is still doing ok. A few Pinks are starting to show up; these
are a great fish to start young kids on! Cast out some little
pink Crocs, or pink spinners and have some fun! A handful of
Steelhead have also entered the system and we are looking
forward to fighting some of these guys! Weather has been hot and
beautiful! Reminder: Bait ban in effect.
Closed for Chinook fishing. No reports of Coho or Pinks yet, but
they should be soon!
River is looking great for both clarity and levels. Still some
`late` Chinook coming through. Chums and Pinks being caught and
a few Coho starting to show up. With the hot weather pounding
down on us, the best fishing is early in the morning or later in
the evening.
Closed for Chinook fishing from Hwy 37 Bridge at Kitwanga to
Mill Creek. (check the regs and DFO notices!)
River is in excellent shape, nice and green, and still holding a
nice volume. Fishing has been a bit quieter but the fish are
around. Not many big Chinooks, but lots of `jacks being caught.
Coho are moving in, pinks are getting caught, and the steelhead
fishing is starting to pick up. Grab a beverage and your gear
and get fishing!

Salmon Strongholds: Skeena River
The Skeena is a globally important wild salmon stronghold
and Canada’s second largest wild salmon river. Home to some
of the largest Chinook and steelhead ever recorded, the
river’s combined tribal, recreational, and commercial
fishing economy is worth $110 million a year. The river and
its salmon form the cultural and social bedrock of the
place, where fishing is a near-universal way of life and
First Nations have been celebrating and eating salmon for

Their gross revenue has more than doubled since 2010. The Lodge has
a location second to none as it is ideally situated to take
advantage of some of the most outstanding fishing opportunities on
the BC coast for Salmon, Halibut, Bottom Fish and Tuna.
Black Bear and Bald Eagles are
regularly seen by the lodge. They have the largest colonies of Sea
Otters on the coast and the Gray, Orca and Humpback Whales pass by
on their way to and from the Bering Sea.
The owners love the business, but
feel now is the time to turn the reins over to someone younger who
shares the same passion for the outdoors and who is looking for a
wonderful rewarding lifestyle.
Asking price $999,000
