Apr 29, 2002; 07:14PM - Lake Cachuma Bass and Trout trolling techniques
|
|
Category: California Freshwater Lakes
|

Author Name: webmaster
|
Tip&Trick Description 1:
My first time fishing Lake Cachuma was this last weekend April 27th 2002 and I will let you in on a secret this is a fine lake with great staff excellent fishing and abundant campsites. I was very impressed with the guys at the marina ( Jim and Allen) for giving us great tips for fishing their lake without holding back any information necessary for a first timer to their lake. Right out of the marina he told me to troll straight thru the center of the lake and we would be sure to get bit and he was right. Less than 10 minutes from the launch ramp right where he suggested we caught the first fish a nice largemouth bass about 3-4 lbs and lost the first hook up as we were surprised to get a strike so soon. This fish jumped clear out of the water and fought like a much larger fish than it actually ended up being. |
|
Tip&Trick Description 2:
We released the bass and continued anxious to get to the trout which is what we were after. On the way to the next spot Jim and Allen had given us directions to we saw 4 deer on the shore grazing like they owned the place (which I guess they did) We set our sites on the points jetting out along the far side of the lake about 200 feet offshore. Instantly off one of the points both the reels went off as we were trolling rainbow trout colored Yo-zuri Emperor Minnows and L-Jack series lures on 4 and 6 lb test at a fairly slow troll. First fish fell off but I managed to get mine to the boat and into it for supper that evening. We did a turn around and went right back over the same spot and sure enough another missed opportunity. Back we went again with another 2 strikes managing to get one in the boat for a better meal for the 3 of us eating that night. Back and forth again for nothing and we decided to give the opposite bank a try. |
|
Tip&Trick Description 3:
On the other side of the lake were the serious bass guy's fishing the bow of their sleek boats with the chairs and trolling motor on the bow. We steered clear of them and moved again about 200 feet off the shoreline and continued our trolling pattern slow and parallel to shore. We started noticing the wind more and more as we headed back towards the launch ramp noticing there was only one jacket made it to the boat and it was mine! We again managed to get another rainbow to strike right out of the water it jumped and then a small battle and into the boat it came. We were done now 1 fish each for dinner and one released bass in about 2 hours fishing time. Now it was back to camp to make dinner and get warm. A jacket is a good thing to bring on any lake as the wind always decides to blow in the afternoon. I must tell you that the guy's at the marina tackle shop know their stuff about where the fish are biting and what they are biting on. Without their tips we may have come home empty handed as several others had that day. Good luck if you get a chance to fish Lake Cachuma and be sure to say hello the the great guys at the tackle shop near the launch ramp it may pay off big time for you in the long run.....Fish on! <'))))>< |

The photo of the week shows Bill Pickard of England with a beautiful Skeena River wild Steelhead. The fish took a “string leach”. He was being guided by Westcoast Fishing Adventures and says he has fished all over the world and left our country with awe and dreams of returning in 2009 to chase the finest fish to take a fly – STEELHEAD.

Noel Gyger - WEEKLY FISHING REPORT dated September 14 – September 21, 2008
(Number 89)
Dear Fishing Friends:
SUMMARY: Weather has been good and all the rivers are in good shape. Fishing for Steelhead and Coho Salmon is good using both fly and spin gear. The odd Chum Salmon is being caught on the Skeena river…and these are mean fighting fish! The lower Skeena tribs such as the Kasiks, Exchamsiks, Extew are very low. Running a jet boat in such low water is not a good idea. The Coho are holding in the lower pools waiting for a shot of high water to move up river. The Kalum is in great shape and fishing well for both Steelhead and Coho. The Zymoetz Copper is fishing well for Steelhead both spin and fly (dry fly). The Kitimat River is low but the guides still know where to go to catch Coho. Be sure to check out the detailed report from Ron Wakita.
On Tuesday, September 16th Gill McKean gave me a call and said let's go fishing! A good run of Coho (Silver) Salmon are in one of our local rivers. It took me about one second to say yes! Gill took his jet boat. His friend Mandy and her son Colton joined us. Mandy has never landed a Coho. Our GOAL was to help her do so...and she did as this video shows. Cast here for a direct link to the video clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGA7ovjpRzk
I went fishing today with my friends on the Kalum River today Sunday, September 21.
Sisters Allanah and Shannon, hair blowing in the wind, as Robby Vodola “blasts” us around on the Kalum River. We stopped to fish at a few nice pools and landed both Coho and Steelhead. Stay tuned to the News Bulletin webpage next week to view a couple video clips of the Steelhead and Coho the girls landed. The fishing was FANTASTIC! Lots of fish were hooked and the jet boat ride was “out of this world” as we traveled just about the whole upper river right up into Mud and Kalum Lake.

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.

CURRENT REPORT and summary for Northern Coastal Rivers:
Fishing Report from: Ron Wakita of Reliable Guide and Charters
KITIMAT RIVER: The quirky trend of the Salmon migrating through the lower end of the Kitimat continues and is even more predominant during this stage of the Kitimat River's Coho run. The odd Coho has been caught in the lower Kitimat but the majority of Coho are being caught in the middle and upper sections of the Kitimat. The Powerlines have been hot a couple of days this week and cold on others. On Sunday my group boated one Coho at the Powerlines and two others hooked. Monday's reports of the Powerlines were good but Tuesday and Wednesday the bite was off. On Friday I drifted by and watched one angler land a Coho at the upper stretch completing his quota of two for the day. Wedeene Park has reported similar fishing results. We drifted by early in the week and there were anglers fishing from shore that had landed six Coho and lost another two. Other days the bite was off. Such is the nature of Coho fishing this time of year on the Kitimat. Coho can be enticed by the widest range of tackle. Coho can be caught on spoons, jigs, Hot Shots, spinners, float fishing roe, bottom bouncing roe, dick nites and cheaters. The task is to find where they are holding and then figure out what they are biting on. Sometimes a combination of tackle is needed to hook a bunch of Coho.
On Friday morning Al and I hooked the first Coho on a Hot shot #25 lost the second on a jig, and then landed the third Coho hooked on a jig. We then put out a Hot Shot 35 and landed the fourth Coho hooked. We fished other holes where Coho were jumping with Hot shots, Jigs, Roe with a float, Bottom Roe and spinners and they wouldn't bite any of the above. We then hooked and lost the fifth Coho hooked during this morning drift on a Hot Shot 35. Such is the nature of Coho fishing this time of year.
Just after writing the first portion of this report I was called to our tackle store. While I was there two anglers from Smithers reported hooking 16 Coho on the Hatchery Island in the Lower Kitimat. They were fishing early morning and the Kitimat area had a high tide at 5:30 A.M. They were fishing over a fresh run migrating on the high tide. They were heading back tomorrow morning to see if another run followed the same behavior on Sunday morning's tide. Stay Tuned to next week's report to find out if they caught anymore on the tide.
DOUGLAS CHANNEL: On each visit to the marina there are more slips empty as more boaters are trailering their boats and putting them away for the winter. The boaters that are still fishing the outer waters of the Douglas Channel are mostly fishing for Crab and bottom fish with varying success. Armando Santos and his wife boated a 77lb halibut in the Eagle Bay area. Cosby Smith and his fishing partner Arnold caught a bunch of Coho in the Fish Trap area. One winter spring (feeder Chinook) was caught in the Kitimat Harbour on Thursday morning. There were also reports of two Halibut caught in the Kitimat Harbour. With the good weather days limited this time of year it would be a good idea to get out on the water while the weather is still fairly decent.

Fishing Report and Photos from: Nicholas Dean Lodge – September 21, 2008
Hello Anglers,
Low, clear conditions have been the name of the game during the past week in the Skeena region. Given that rain is a common feature during our Fall Steelhead season, it’s been a little strange to have warm, dry, sunny weather. In some sense this is a welcome reprieve from the cool, wet Summer we’ve experienced, but this also makes for somewhat challenging fishing conditions depending on your target river. For Steelhead fishing, low conditions make it possible to fish dry flies and wet flies on a floating line, but when fishing for Coho in our favourite rivers, it means that river flows will be down to a trickle and fish will be spooky.
Still, several anglers fishing with us last week enjoyed good success, particularly on Skeena river tributaries. Tommy Strom, a determined angler from Norway, landed a gorgeous Steelhead in the 16-17 range, and discovered why Steelhead have such a good reputation for their fighting abilities. His friends Jan and Kjell also enjoyed some decent Coho fishing in addition to great Steelhead fishing. Eric Herrgesell (the joker of the group!), Corey and Matt Cherrstrom, and Howard Wilson were a pleasure to have at the lodge, and though fishing proved somewhat challenging on some days, each were able to experience the thrill of hooking into Skeena Steelhead.
Also, don’t forget about our promotion for next year – if you book with Noel prior to Oct. 15th, 2008, you can take advantage of special pricing for the 2009 season. This is your chance to experience the take of a Skeena Steelhead and the anticipation of the grab, in a spectacular wilderness setting…
Until next week, tight lines and screaming reels,
Chad Black
