| Fishing is an ancient practice that dates back to at least the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period about 40,000 years ago. Isotopic analysis of the remains of Tianyuan man, a 40,000-year-old modern human from eastern Asia, has shown that he regularly consumed freshwater fish. |

Noel Gyger - WEEKLY FISHING REPORT dated March 2 March 9, 2008
(Number 61)
Dear Fishing Friends:
SUMMARY: Everyone welcomed the warmer weather that finally showed up. Even with the unseasonably cold weather both spin and fly fishermen hooked Steelhead although the spin fishermen had a distinct advantage over the fly fishermen. Most dedicated fly fishermen will tell you that it is not the number of fish they land it is the whole experience combined. The water is very low and in excellent shape but it may be too low for jet boats. As far as we can tell the Kalum River has another good run of winter Steelhead in it and the fresh spring runs should be coming in also. The snow has melted enough so one can launch a boat now.
LIST OF New ITEMS POSTED ON THE WEBSITE THIS WEEK:
- Feb 28/08 one item re last minute openings at a discount price http://www.noelgyger.ca/special-guided.htm
- Mar 4/08 one item posted on Conservation http://www.noelgyger.ca/conservation.htm
- Mar 8/08 one update #3 re Skeena Quality Waters Strategy http://www.noelgyger.ca/quality-waters.htm
NOW BOOKING FOR 2008 Let me know if I can be of service to book you with the 'best' fishing guide and/or fishing lodges. There are NO extra charges to book through me, just a lot of free information and advice from a person with years and years of fishing and fish guiding experience. It is like hiring two guides for the price of one. I will promptly answer your questions and concerns. Cast here http://noelgyger.ca/special-guided.htm to read more of what I have to offer.
LAST MINUTE BOOKINGS: We still have a few spots open for the spring Steelhead fishing on the upper Kalum River in March and April. We guide from drift boats, rafts or jet boat and fish a five mile stretch that has 27 pools. We match however you like to fish using both fly and spin methods! On average and under good conditions each boat can expect to hook about six to a dozen fish per day. The most fish hooked from one boat was 27 on March 27, 1997. The lodge record 32-pound Steelhead was landed the first week in April. Good fishing should last until April 30 or until the water is too high from the spring melt-off.
Available dates are:
-- March 31 to April 6, 2008 - 6 spaces
-- April 6 to 12, 2008 - 4 spaces
-- April 20 to 26, 2008 - 2-4 spaces
At this point, we are offering a 10% discount off the 2008 rates as a promotion.
Chinook start showing up third week in April and first week in May and one may hook both Steelhead and Chinook in the same day. Talk about fun. It doesnt get any better than this!
Many people book three trips per year to our area; one trip in the spring (March-April-May), one trip in the summer (June-July-August) and one trip in the fall (September-October-November). They love having the same guide but fishing for different fish in different areas.
Be sure to check out my website at www.noelgyger.ca for news bulletins, mid week fishing updates, conservation, my history, quality waters strategy, special guided fishing trips, video clips, scenic river photos, wildlife photos and others, comments from past guests, informational articles, archived fishing reports from 1996 through 2002 and a sportfishing market place. I hope it meets with your entire satisfaction.

Fishing Report from: Nicholas Dean Lodge for the Week of March 2 to March 8/08
The weather has finally started to cooperate and rivers are now back into decent shape in the Skeena region. Rivers are running that seductive shade of green that is often so conducive to good Steelhead fishing. Though water temperatures are cold and clear, Steelhead and Bull trout have been receptive to small and medium sized flies, as well as spoons and other gear fished deep and slow.
A few weeks from now we will be welcoming our first guests for our Spring Steelhead season. Large, aggressive wild Steelhead will be the target and this often proves to be one of the more reliable times of year to entice a trophy. If you enjoy making long casts with your spey rod, or seeing the quick drop of your float as a Steelhead takes, this is a great time of year. And with a 10% discount off 2008 rates and a few dates still available in prime weeks, there isnt a better time to hunt for that Steelhead of your dreams. Contact Noel today for more details.
Until next week, tight lines and screaming reels,
Chad Black
Operations manager
Nicholas Dean Lodgewhere every cast is an adventure!
CURRENT REPORT and summary for Northern Coastal Rivers:
Fishing Report from: Ron Wakita of Reliable Guide and Charters
KITIMAT RIVER: With the weather getting milder it seems that we are finally starting to see the signs of Spring. Another indicator is that we also set our clocks ahead one hour. The river is completely free flowing and the snow is receding away from the waters edge. Justin Lowes and Justin Little drifted with pontoon boats and reported no obstructions. They also reported no fish but they said 'they had a great day on the river'.
DOUGLAS CHANNEL: The milder weather has encouraged more boaters to get out on the Douglas. Pat Oliver and his group got out Friday and report their full limit of crab. The first feed of dungeness crab in the spring is a welcome treat after a long winter. The only report of winter springs is still 'Fish Trap' which is still a ways out. We should start to see some herring coming into the Kitimat harbour to spawn any time now. With the herring, the winter spring fishery in the harbour will follow.
