Terrace, BC Fishing Update.

Posted on May 23rd, 2011

[singlepic id=2204 w=320 h=240 float=]Noel Gyger reports.

Heavy rain Monday and Tuesday but now very nice for the long

weekend. Not too hot yet. Luckily, the rivers are rising slowly. Lots of snowpack

still in the mountains. The Skeena River is a dark brown colour and too dirty to fish.

Even though the water is dirty the Chinook (King) Salmon will be migrating up river

to spawn in their native waters. The Kalum River is in good shape both upper and

lower. The river is high but very clean. This is a good time to try your luck for both

Steelhead and Chinook on the same day. Reg: The upper section closes for Chinook

on May 25. The Zymoetz (Copper) River is dirty and not fishable. The Lakelse River

is in good shape and fishing for Steelhead and Trout is fair. The Kitimat River

Steelhead fishing is basically over. Chinook are showing up in the lower end. More

and more fish will come in with the higher tides. Chinook have been caught down the

Douglas Channel but this week I have received reports of Chinook being caught in the

Kitimat Harbour. Until the numbers are good some boaters are venturing out further

for Halibut and bottom fish. Prince Rupert is fishing well for bottom fish and Chinook.

The ice is coming off some of the lakes around the Smithers and Meziadin areas.
