Noel Gyger - WEEKLY FISHING REPORT dated March 30 – April 6, 2008
Dear Fishing Friends:
SUMMARY: The weather has been good all week. I guess spring has finally arrived. The water on all the rivers is still extremely low. The Steelhead fishing is very slow on some of the rivers and fair to good on others. The trick now is to know where the Steelhead are holding and adjust your terminal tackle accordingly (small) and fish un-spooked water. And if you hook a fish…rest the pool. I guess a bonus is that the fishing pressure is light. The lower Zymoetz (Copper) River is still holding a few Steelhead and a few fresh ones are coming in now. A few fishermen are starting to fish on the main stem Skeena River looking for that spring run Steelhead. In the meantime lots of Cutthroat and Dolly Varden Char to keep the fishermen entertained while waiting for Steelhead. I went fishing with a couple of friends today on the Kalum River, check out my report below.

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.
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.
