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! <'))))>< |

Noel Gyger - WEEKLY FISHING REPORT dated July 8 – July 15, 2007
Dear Fishing Friends:
As I drove through town this morning I could not help notice an increase in campers, motor homes and boats which have come to Terrace in anticipation of fishing for the big Chinook Salmon on the main stem Skeena and lower Kalum Rivers. Many folks come back year after year. At the beginning of the week we had some very hot weather and mid week thunder and lightening and periods of heavy rain which threw out the lower Kalum River. It looked like it was coming back into shape. The main stem Skeena has been dropping but is still not really fishable, if anything, it is borderline fishable. I talked with guide Randy Marshall last night and he had a good drift boat trip guiding his clients on the Kitimat River. They hooked quite a few big Chinook. Pink and Chum are just starting to enter and ocean fishing down the Douglas channel report good numbers of Coho now plus the usual Halibut, bottom fish, crabs and prawns. Fishing the clean seams of the Skeena tributary rivers such as the Exchamsiks and Kasiks is still a good option.
If I can be of service to find you the “best” guided fishing adventure let me know. Cast here to check out more of what I have to offer and review the latest updates regarding last minute openings at: http://noelgyger.ca/special-guided.htm Please note many of these trips are now being offered at a discount price. Contact me for all the details and to book. These dates are updated on my website whenever there is a change.
Be sure to check out my website at www.noelgyger.ca for more info on my history, Quality Waters Strategy, special guided fishing trips, video clips, scenic river photos, wildlife photos and others, comments from past guests, informational articles and archived fishing reports from 1996 through 2002. I hope it meets with your entire satisfaction.

SKEENA RIVER: is dropping steady by weeks end. It is borderline fishable now. The main stem is the “highway” for Salmon heading to their many different tributary rivers.
KALUM RIVER: Chinook (King) Salmon are available in the lower five mile section. The water is high from the heavy rain we’ve had and is borderline fishable today.
This is a Classified River year round and can be guided from March 15 through October 15 only. The Steelhead record is 32-pounds. To see a photo of this fish cast to: http://noelgyger.ca/records/Record003.jpg The angler is Dennis Therrien.
KASIKS RIVER: It is now possible to fish for Chinook at the mouth, in the clean seam, where it joins the Skeena. Sometimes the Chinook come out of the Skeena and into the clean water in search for scent of their home river.
EXCHAMSIKS RIVER: Same as above, it is now possible to fish for Chinook in the clean seam.
EXTEW RIVER: Same as above, it is now possible to fish for Chinook in the clean seam.
GITNADOIX RIVER: The Chinook will be entering the river soon. You are limited to fishing for them downstream of the powerline crossing near river mouth.
Note: sadly, the above three rivers are closed to angling for Chinook except at the very lower end. Please check 2005 – 2007 BC Freshwater Salmon Supplement (fancy name for regulations) at: www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/recfish for details.
ZYMOETZ (COPPER) RIVER: Like other Skeena tributaries, the Chinook (King) Salmon will start coming in now. You may fish the whole river for Chinook until July 23rd, then it closes upstream of the Highway 16 bridge.

KINCOLITH RIVER: The BIG fresh, silver, Chinook (King) Salmon are coming into the river in the high tides. One may angle for Chinook downstream of white triangle boundary signs located at the Kincolith River Bridge. You would be fishing in the river but it is actually tidal water, so please remember you must have a salt water license to angle here. Cast here to buy them on line:
http://www.pac.dfo-mpo.gc.ca/recfish/Licensing/online_e.htm
TSEAX RIVER: This is a Nass River tributary. Chinook (King) Salmon fishing begins around July 1st. You may retain one big fish per month.

Fishing Report from: Nicholas Dean Lodge Fishing Report for the Week of July 8 to 14, 2007
The rivers in the Skeena Region near Terrace have been on the rise during the past week. From Tuesday to Thursday, we had temperatures between 30 and 35 degrees Celsius, which unfortunately caused a significant amount of snowmelt within the Skeena and Kitimat Watersheds. The result was high, dirty waters which proved very difficult for fishing. Over the weekend though, temperatures have dropped and this trend will likely continue into early next week. Chinook Salmon fishing will continue, and the first runs of Chum and Pink Salmon will be entering the river.
Until next week, tight lines and screaming reels…

CURRENT REPORT and summary for Northern Coastal Rivers:
Fishing Report from: Reliable Guide and Charters
KITIMAT RIVER:
Sunday, Monday and Tuesday have really produced well with lots of fish been caught by the bank fishers as well as the drift boats.
On Monday July 9th Mike and his fishing partner Alvaro hooked four landing three chinook. A 20lb, 25lb. and a 33lb chinook. Well done Mike and Alvaro! (Alias Portuguese Mama)
Ron with clients hooked five chinook and landed three a 20 a 22 lb and a jack chinook. We also landed one chum and two pinks on Sunday July 8th. The clients names are Paul Judge (father), Adam (age 8) and Michael (age 5). It was a pleasure to fish with these well mannered kids.
Ron and thirteen year old son 'Captain Corey' landed a beauty under the Haisla Bridge on Monday morning. This Chinook was pushing close to Forty pounds.
All the lower holes of the Kitimat produced chinook, a few chum and some pinks.
The Kitimat started rising with incredibly hot weather on Wednesday and Thursday. The water is on the edge of being fishable. Two lucky anglers landed two chinook above the bridge in Duck creek and two were lost at the lower dike today July 12th. There are a few pinks caught along the edges of the high water. Stay tuned to this report, the weather man is calling for more hot weather.
DOUGLAS CHANNEL:
Don Medland and group landed 9 Coho one chinook one pink 5 halibut and lots of cod.
They were fishing down the Douglas Channel around Money Point. Don had fished the Douglas last year with very little success but it appears that he has learned some lessons and the proof is in the results. Well Done Don! He was pretty excited about heading out again.
The trolling in the Harbour is spotty and is making fishing conditions even more Challenging with the murky water from the Kitimat River.
Most boaters are heading down channel for halibut and Coho. There were lots of halibut on the dock on the weekend.
Tight Lines to all!
Report and photos from Ron Wakita of Reliable Guide and Charters

CURRENT REPORT and summary for Central Coast/North Van Island Wilderness Rivers:
DFO Salmon forecast for 2007: Coho return is expected to be normal; Chinook were at or above average, so good fishing is anticipated; Chum are always strong; Pink returns are expected to be normal, which means very plentiful; Sockeye is not expected to be high.
Wow. The rivers are high on the mainland due to the run off from the hot days we have been experiencing. The high lakes are still frozen and there is 6 feet plus of snow where for the past many years there has been bare rock or alpine.
The island rivers are not as high and do have nice runs of Cutthroat, Dolly Varden and Rainbow with some summer steelhead showing in a couple of rivers. The main salmon runs will start to appear in the fall, except for the pink salmon which should start showing just now. This is a different year folks. Almost as if we are a month behind.
The Salmon have just started to show their faces and fins. Jack Coho are the first in the systems. Guest have been showing up from all over the world to participate in our heli-venture programs such as whale watching and rafting and heli-hiking as well as some day fishing for early salmon and trout.
Stay tuned for further reports from the home of The Angling Odyssey,
