Weekly Fishing Reports (Smithers, Terrace, Kitimat, Prince Rupert and Meziadin North)
Noel Gyger
September 12 to September 19, 2010
Dear Fishing Friends:
SUMMARY:
Weather has been excellent with lots of sunshine. Fishing for Steelhead, Coho, Cutthroat Trout, Bull Trout and Dolly Varden Char using fly, spin and conventional gear has been excellent.
The Skeena River is very low and in excellent shape. Fishing for Steelhead and Coho is excellent. It is not uncommon to catch both Steelhead and Coho on the same day.
The Kalum River is very low and in excellent shape. Steelhead and Coho are coming in now. I have reports of some great catches.
The Kitimat River remains very low and clear. The best fishing results have been achieved during the early mornings or when the 'Tide Fish'(Coho moving on the incoming tides) are moving through the lower Kitimat River.
The Douglas Channel Coho is hit and miss during this time of the year. Most of the Coho are heading for or are already in the rivers that they will be spawning in. The Kitimat Harbour Fishery is still producing Coho and with the nice weather a few boaters trolling the harbour are being rewarded for their efforts.
Check out the Ron Wakita report below.
The Zymoetz (Copper) River is very clean. Summer-run Steelhead are moving in now and great catches are being reported.
This week guide reports came from Ron Wakita, Mike Herzberg, Ariel Kuppers and Wes Owen. Thank you to all of the fishing guides and anglers who sent reports and photos. It is very much appreciated!
WARNING: BEARS on all our rivers. Be Bear Aware and carry Pepper Spray.
Check your spray for expiry date!

Kitimat River
I apologize for a shortened version of this Fishing Report but I was feeling a bit under the weather.
The Kitimat River remains very low and clear. The best fishing results have been achieved during the early mornings or when the 'Tide Fish'(Coho moving on the incoming tides) are moving through the lower Kitimat River.
Sept 12 Manny Arruda submitted this photo of a 16lb 12oz. Kitimat River Coho. Wow! Nice Coho Manny. It is really close to the same size as the Coho that your sister, Maria caught. Congratulations to you both.
Sept 12 Mike Herzberg drifted with his friends Alex and Pete. They landed 2 Coho out of the 6 they hooked. They hooked their Coho on Hot Shots http://www.rapala.ca/ and on Jigs. Congratulations Alex and Pete! Well done Mike!
Sept 15 Ariel Kuppers guided our clients Bill Neighbour and Dave Thomas. They hooked into 7 Coho and landed 2. Two were hooked on Luhr Jensen http://www.rapala.ca/ #35 hotshots and the rest float fishing roe with Gibbs http://www.gibbsfishing.com/ floats and 2/0 Gamakatsu http://www.rapala.ca/ hooks.
Sept 15 Mike Herzberg reports' Fishing still really slow because of the low water, but we managed to get a few each drift. Anter landed a beauty on Tuesday'. Well done Anter.
Summary:
Coho stock numbers will continue to improve throughout September. The challenge will be to figure out the best times and tackle to catch them. Early mornings and evenings are usually the best times. As for tackle, spoons, hot shots http://www.gibbsfishing.com/ , jigs, spinners, float-fishing or bottom-bouncing roe are some of the most effective methods but on any given day one, none or all may work. Coho fishing in this very low, clear water is a challenge. I look forward to posting the photos of the anglers who figure it out.
DOUGLAS CHANNEL
Sept 12 Wes Owen called me at 10:00 AM saying that he was on his way in from fishing and he had his limit of 4 Coho in the cooler fishing by himself. Wes has some clients coming this week and wanted to stay dialed to where the Coho were holding in the Kitimat Harbour so he decided to go out this morning. Wes hooked 7 Coho to land the 4 Coho that he kept. Well done Wes!
We have plenty of open dates for Driftboat Trips for Coho and Saltwater Charters for Coho and Halibut. Any interested anglers please contact Noel noel@noelgyger.ca
Good Health and Good Fishing!
Sincerely and Cheers Ron Wakita

Video Clip
September 14, 2010 One 'New' clip posted on Video Clips http://www.noelgyger.ca/video-clips-web.htm
Commentary by Ron Wakita of Reliable Guide and Charters. I had the pleasure of fishing with my very good friends Noel Gyger and Syd and Elaine Pallister for Coho on the Kitimat River September 8, 2010. Syd is one of the owners of Gibbs/Delta Tackle http://www.gibbsfishing.com/ . We hooked 4 Coho during our short morning drift but Elaine managed to land the only one. Hurray for Elaine! We had a great day on the Kitimat River. We hooked our Coho on Luhr Jensen http://www.rapala.ca/ Hot Shots although we tried to entice Coho with Gibbs Koho and Croc lures http://www.gibbsfishing.com/ . We watched a local angler, Randy Dean land 2 Coho with Koho lures. Randy had an interesting comment that the Gibbs lures worked best at day break. The weather turned out to be outstanding and we had a great morning of fishing. Thank You to Syd, Elaine and Noel for your wonderful company.

Drift boater plug pulling dream come true. How does one know how much line is let out? The answer is, get one of these reels! Abu Garcia http://www.purefishing.com/ has come out with two fishing reels with line counters. One reel is for the BIG Chinook and the other smaller one for Coho and Steelhead. Secret, don’t tell anybody but to catch Coho set the centre line at 55 feet the outside left and right at 48 feet. Have fun with them. Yes, we used the smaller reel in the video.
