Skeena BC Fishing Report

By Noel Gyger, Noel Gyger Guided Fishing Adventures | Last updated: January 24th, 2012

It has been extremely cold over the last week and a half. Daytime high temps were just too cold for fishing. It has warmed up now so winter steelhead and trout fishing is back on.

Skeena River

Water is barely fishable. Lots of ice flow in the river . Some great steelhead can still be had, plus some good trout fishing. Be careful walking on the ice near the edge of the river.

Kalum River:

Both the lower and upper sections are in good shape. Watch for ice shelves in the deep pools. A good run of steelhead is in the river now.

Lakelse River

The water is in good shape and fishing for steelhead, trout is fair.

Zymoetz (Copper) River

Water is full of floating ice, makes for tough fishing.

Facts: Last year we had a record run of steelhead, let's hope at least we have another good run this year. The fly rods work extremely well in this river.

Kitimat River

Trout fishing is fair where the river is free of ice.
