Yes, you read the header right!! It's Saturday and I am at the computer instead of offshore terrorizing the fish.
No, today's charter had complications beyond our/their control and couldn't make it. 1st Mate Landon and I discussed the possibilities of heading offshore and doing a commercial trip since the King Mackeral were biting fairly well, but, we were both tired from yesterday's trip and I couldn't stop thinking about how far behind I am on answering my e-mails so he went home to rest and I will rest after I get all these e-mails answered and get the fishing reports sent to all the Magazines, News papers, and fishing sites that depend on me each week!!
Speaking of yesterday's trip, Landon and I were honored to have with us a fine group of fishermen from the Lumberton, NC area. They were comprised of Carless Lee, Clifton Fulmore, William Satler, Andray Jones, Robin Johnson, and Jimmy Crumpler. A fine group of gentlemen and fishermen!!!!
Our quarry today was to be bottom fish and lite lining for King Mackeral. The current was 'screaming' but the fish were there and biting. Problem was, too many species were biting. You get anchored up and start catching nice, big, bottom fish, then here comes the party crashers, the Atlantic Sharpnose Sharks.
Now don't get me wrong, the sharpnose is not a bad eating fish, but, with a one fish limit, six drops and you were limited out. And as for the lite line, they got so aggravating we just pulled it in!!
The fish are biting, but, you have to keep moving away from the sharks, cause when they move in, the bottom fishing is over!!! Also, we don't know exactly how to explain this, but, we only had three(3) guys fishing, the other three on the Starboard side of the boat decided to lay down and take a nap or something like that. Now, I am at the age where my memory is not as good as it was, so, I'll let them tell you about the benefits of taking a mid day nap on a fishing trip offshore!!!! Oh, yeah, I did hear one say something about never eating 'pig skins' before you go fishing, that must keep you awake or something???
I had run to the SE of the tower to a wreck in 110 feet of water, hoping to find less current and less sharks. We did find less sharks, but the current was worse but due to the fact that you could get your baits to the bottom before being attacked by the sharks, we were catching some decent bottom fish here!!
Well, it was getting late in the day and the guys had wanted to try to get some King Mackeral, but due to the 'shark frenzy' we didn't have any.
About this time Manning Outen, a fellow fisherman that I invited to anchor up behind me this past winter to get some black bass returned the favor!! He called and said he had the Kings going and with NO SHARKS!!!! Now, we had one fish box full of bottom fish and were only about 12 miles from Manning. Upon asking if they would like to finish out the day trying for the Kings where Manning had so graciously invited us to join him, well, in short order we were up and running. Thanks Manning, you are a true sportsman,and you were asking me where the fish were, I think maybe I need to be asking you!!! Thanks again my friend, you 'saved the day' for me!!
Upon arriving, Manning was making a circle so we stayed well clear as not to interfere with his fishing and we dropped the baits in. I was marking plenty of bait but was having no takers so after a little bit I suggested we change our strategy. That change in our game plan netted us with 18 King Mackeral, all six guys got their limit of three each.
Another great day, some more GREAT people, but hey, I have come to realize that all fisherpeople are just Great people, but I like to think that the ones that fish with us on the 'YEAH RIGHT' are the GREATEST OF ALL!!!! Till next time, FISH ON!!! Capt Butch, 1st mate Landon, and of course, 'Private Bodie' the fish dog says, man, these guys wore me out yesterday, there were King Mackeral flying everywhere, I didn't know which one to jump on!!!

Author Name: Capt Tim Fey

Saturday the 12th I fished the CFBA tournament out on Clermont Chain. Not having been out on the chain in several months, and unable to do any prefishing, I was just hoping for the best. I had spent the entire day on the main lake from the downtown ramp, Lake Minneola. I had started out with some quick top water baits, with no takers at all, then quickly switched to a whacky rigged Gitem K.O in dark mellon. This is the bait I thru the entire day, working very slowly and focused on mainly isolated grass patches, and an occasional grass point off a main bed. This had me culling bass at 9 AM, with all the bass coming in right at 15 inches each. I made 2 moves the entire day, and the last move was the one that paid off, trying a drop shot in the old dynamite holes produced one miss, when I spotted a bass cruising the flats, which used to be almost 4 feet deep.
I worked this grass area over for close to 40 minutes, when a single blade of grass got bumped, I tossed my bait to it and the fight was on, a nice kicker bass coming in at 6.25 pounds. Pretty much everyone was saying the same at weigh in, a lot of 14-15 inch bass, and few got kicker fish, there was a 7 an 8 a 9 and a 10 pounder weighed in, with the winning weight being just over 15 pounds. I managed to catch 17 bass and weigh in 12.67 pounds squeaking out a 4th place finish. This chain seems to being fishing good despite some very low waters, plenty of great grass beds and some deep drop offs, although I myself did not see any schooling action, this chain has produced some very good bass coming from schools. Lets pray for rain, we need it!!!

Noel Gyger - WEEKLY FISHING REPORT dated May 6 – May 13, 2007
Dear Fishing Friends:
Weather and water conditions are good. Most rivers are fishing well. Isolated coastal Rivers are fishing very well for Steelhead and the Kalum is fishing well for Steelhead and Chinook (King) Salmon. Even took a Chinook on the fly this week, can’t get much better than that.
Even though it is late in the spring season, May is “prime time” to fish for Steelhead on the Kitimat River. You still have some fresh fish coming-in and spawned fish going-out. A fair number of Chinook are entering the river now also. Steelhead and Chinook can be caught on the same day. More details below.
I have updated reports again from Ron Wakita, Craig Murray and Chad Black and I have added reports on new waters now that the Chinook are coming.
In general, the fishing is good and I was really leaning toward saying excellent.
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: http://noelgyger.ca/special-guided.htm
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.

FISHING REPORT FROM NICHOLAS DEAN LODGE FOR THIS WEEK:
So far this spring, we have generally been very lucky with the weather and our rivers. The fishing has been incredible at times, and other times challenging, but at least we have not had to deal with a lot of rivers being blown out. Typically, the weather here has been warm during the day, but cool at night, which has further delayed the onset of melting from the snow-pack. Having fished a small coastal river in the Nass Watershed last week, I can begin to appreciate just how high the rivers might actually rise, as one coastal river still had between 4 and 6 feet of snow!
Presently though, the fishing has still remained somewhat productive, depending on your method of choice. Fly fishers have been having a difficult time putting “numbers on the board,” and it seems that the average is about 1 to 2 hookups per day for Steelhead and/or Spring Chinook. However, for those anglers more interested in using conventional gear and techniques, such as float fishing or back trolling, it has been easier to hook into numbers of fish each day. On the whole, the largest Steelhead landed last week was a fish of 15 lbs landed by Jeff Bright, and a Chinook landed by Bob Cusick of 40 lbs.
The above photo shows an early run Chinook (King) Salmon caught, landed and released on a fly by Jim Johnson. His guide Dustin Kovacvich is helping to pose the fish. Photo credit goes to Tom Wendell Thank you Tom.
Note from Noel: since Dustin is such a big guy he makes the fish look small. After much discussion, by the catcher and a witness on site, this fish was estimated to weigh around 30-pounds…and fishermen are NOT liars…as we all know
As mentioned last week, it is expected that Steelhead fishing will continue to slow down a little as the rest of the spawning fish return to the Oceans once more, but the mounting Spring Chinook run should provide good sport for both fly angler and conventional fishers alike.
Until next week, tight lines and screaming reels…
Chad Black
Operations Manager
Nicholas Dean Lodge…where every cast is an adventure!
SKEENA RIVER: the river is dropping but the water is still dirty and really not fishable. This is normal for this time of year. If we get lucky with the weather, the water will continue to drop and clean-up enough so we can start to fish for the bright, fresh Chinook (King) Salmon that are migrating through the system now.
KALUM RIVER: has an “excellent” run of Steelhead. Chinook (King) Salmon are also available in good numbers. Catching both Steelhead and Chinook on the same day is great fun! The water is rising slowly but staying in fishable shape. Having a big lake at the head end helps keep the water clarity stable.
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.
This is the river where I helped land a fish on May 24, 1983 that changed my life and got me interested in the guiding industry. I wrote an article about this fish and it can be read on my website at: http://www.noelgyger.ca/articles/Articles-LANDING-A-RECORD-CHINOOK-by-Noel.doc
Here is a brief excerpt:
“We could hardly believe it, we had landed the big fish. Jim tried to pick it up, but it was too heavy, or else he was too tired. We skidded it back to the boat. As we headed back upstream to where the play had started, we celebrated. This Chinook was weighed on legal scales at 1 a.m. Tuesday morning. The Kalum River record, 83-pound 8-oz. was the result.”
To this very day I have never seen such a big fish again.
To continue to conserve these special, beautiful big fish you must release the big ones over 65 centimeters in the early season. You may retain the smaller ones.
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.
Note: the above three rivers are closed to angling for Chinook except at the very low 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: is closed now for angling (as of December 31, 2006 above the lower canyon) to protect the “wintering over” wild Steelhead. Spring fishing is still available on the lower end below the canyon. Like other Skeena tributaries, the Chinook will start coming in.
OCEAN FISHING PRINCE RUPERT: May 10. Hello Noel, sorry for not responding sooner but to tell you the truth I've been too busy catching fish, the springs are here in a big way, yesterday we boated 10 before 9 am, all in the high 20's, and today we landed a 40 pounder, 30 pounder and 6 in the mid 20's, the Halibut are hot too, we landed two 80 pounders and multiple others in the mid 30 's, the weather has been cool but calm, so to sum it up the fishing in Rupert is UNREEL...........
calm waters.............

CURRENT REPORT and summary for Northern Coastal Rivers:
KITIMAT RIVER: I had the pleasant opportunity last Saturday to fish with two of the best Reps in the Fishing Tackle industry, Dave Haddad and Chris Seipio. Dave is the Sales Rep for Redl Sports Distributors and Chris represents Loomis, Springbrook, Airflo, Ross reels and many others. Both are not only great reps but also exceptional anglers.
Fishing with the level of fishing talents that Chris and Dave possess provided a great opportunity to accomplish the Triple Crown. The Triple Crown is a personal challenge that I have to catch a Steelhead on a fly, a Steelhead on a hot shot and a Steelhead on tackle all on the same drift. We only drifted half a day but managed to hook five Steelhead but only landed one.
We accomplished hooking Steelhead with two legs of the Triple Crown, one on fly and four on tackle but only landed one of the Steelhead hooked on hot-shot. Congratulations Dave. After Dave and Chris finished their portion of the drift, Doug Rumley, a personal fishing buddy continued the drift. We hooked and landed a Steelhead on the hotshot leg of the Triple Crown. Good Job Doug!
Mike Herzberg and Steve Brady drifted on Wednesday (May 9th) and hooked five Steelhead, landing four. They also hooked four Chinook, landing two.
Mike Herzberg is a guide for my guide company, Reliable Guide and Charters Ltd. We are fortunate to have such a gifted angler and great fishing personality working with us. Mike has perfected a technique fishing with jet divers that produces exceptional results as demonstrated by the fish count on Wednesday's drift. Congratulations Steve and Mike on a Great Day of fishing! Report and photos by Ron Wakita
OCEAN FISHING KITIMAT DOUGLAS CHANNEL:
Jamie Paul and Derek Ito were going to do some bottom fishing on Monday but the plan changed when they ran into a fog bank so they decided to troll for Chinook instead. They were pleased when the change in plans produced two Chinook, a twenty pounder and another about twenty two pounds. Sometimes in fishing the best trips are the ones that don't go as planned. Congrats to Jamie and Derek.
Todd Haynes of Nautical West Adventures was out trolling on Wednesday with Brian Apps and they also caught two chinook. They boated a 22lb and 26lb chinook. Todd has now caught four Chinook and says, 'we can safely assume that the Chinook season has started'.
As I am in the process of writing this fishing report in our tackle store Brian Apps and Jason Jonkman just bought in four chinook from the Douglas Channel (25, 19, 22 & 18 lbs) 'Plus we released two more' exclaimed Jason. They caught the big one on a new imitation anchovy that glows in the dark that they just bought to try on Thursday. 'We're going to bring more to weigh in tomorrow' says Brian. Brian and Jason definitely validates Todd Haynes' comment that the '2007 Chinook season has started' Stay tuned, looks like 2007 Chinook is going to be a good one! Report and photos by Ron Wakita
CURRENT REPORT and summary for Central Coast/North Van Island Wilderness Rivers:

Fishing report from Nimmo:
Here is the next episode. Short & Sweet.
Edmonton and Vancouver arrive at Nimmo Bay for a four day Marathon adventure with the helicopter, the un-named rivers, the unparalleled scenery and of course Steelhead.
This weeks guests were prepared for some crummy weather, which they got. What they found out was that if one area is blown out, it is just a matter of pointing the Helicopter in another direction and presto, you fly out of the rain, to rivers which carry lovely Steelhead and rainbow Trout and that are fishable. Talk about transcending boundaries. This is what Magic Carpets were made for.
And throw the music of Gordon Henschel into the mix on the last evening, the cooking of Chef Heather Davis and the guiding efforts of Perry Wilson, the trip was a wonderful success and a memory forever. Until of course the guests return next year and once again the memory becomes a reality.
This picture is of our two illustrious and professional steelhead guides, Perry Wilson and Dan Cahill. This was taken in early May on a mainland river. Helicopter guides are a rare breed. They have to have many skills, other than just the ability to catch fish. And these gentlemen do have all that is required for the job at hand.
Fly caught steelhead. Every Anglers dream.
And the Saga continues ....
Stay tuned folks for the next edition from Nimmo Bay.
To Fly is Human ... To Hover, Divine

This past week I have had a few trips out on Butler Chain. Waters are still holding good, and temps were running surprisingly in the mid to upper 70’s which has been good for the fishing. No real top water action to speak of, but did come across some good schooling activity. When the schoolers were up, the Steel Shads seemed to be the best way to catch them. Lakes that were worked this past week were, Lake Butler, Lake Chase, Lake Sheen and Lake Pocket. Hot bait for the week has been the Gitem K.O. in Dark Mellon. Texas rigged worked good, but wacky rigged was the hot ticket, rigged up with a 3/0 circle hook has caught a lot of bass for us this week. Working the outside edges of grass beds, small holes in the beds, and scattered grasses with drop offs close by produced the best bass. With the big bass coming in at 5.6 pounds. Steel Shad have produced a few good bass worked in and around deeper drop offs, in 12 to 18 foot of water, worked slow with an occasional jigging motion has been the key to getting hit.
Till my next report, Tight lines and great fishing!

Cabo Fish Report
April 30-May 13, 2007
WEATHER: It’s getting warmer! I have been thinking about getting the air conditioning unit in my bedroom cleaned so it is ready to go. Our daytime highs are getting into the 90’s while the nighttime lows are in the mid 70’s. The humidity hasn’t climbed up there yet so it’s bearable, but the heat should be hitting us soon. This past two weeks has given us partly cloudy skies at the beginning of the month and clearing skies during the past week. No rain of course, and we are back to the prevailing northwesterly winds that start to kick in mid-morning.
WATER: Water temperatures on both sides of the Cape continued to climb these past two weeks. As of the end of this week we were seeing water temperatures on the Cortez side as high as an occasional 81 degrees close to shore and up around the Vinorama, Los Frailles and East Cape areas. A little farther off shore there were consistent 78-degree areas. On the Pacific side the water was warming up as well but didn’t get much higher than 72 degrees. It was also a bit more off color on the Pacific with water close to shore being very green and outside 5 miles from the beach being a blue-green color. It looks as if the warm Cortez water is starting to push over into the Pacific and that could mean good things in the coming week.
BAIT: Almost the only baits available over the past two weeks were smaller Mackerel at the normal $2 per bait. The bait boats were saying the Humboldt Squid have moved in and have made getting bait locally difficult. Most of the bait they have been selling has come from the bait receiver out front, and they are getting low as well. There have been Sardinas available from a few Pangas at the normal $20 per scoop.
FISHING:
BILLFISH: Almost the only action on Striped Marlin for the past two weeks has been in the area from Inman Banks to the Red Hill area. Early in this time frame the bite was really going off on the Outer Gorda Bank in the afternoon, but things have calmed down quite a bit since then. There have been quite a few fish found still, but they have spread out and are now being seen closer to shore between San Jose and Chileno, out to about 5 miles. Most of the Marlin at the outer Gorda Banks was caught while either drifting along the submerged bait balls with rigged live baits at 100 to 150 feet, or slow trolling rigged dead baits in the same area. Fish that were outside the D’estilledera area at the end of last month moved to the Gorda following the bait balls, but there were still nice big piles of bait up in the shallows off of Punta Gorda in 200-250 feet of water. Most of these Striped Marlin were in the 100-pound class with a few fish found pushing 150 pounds. There were reports of Blue Marlin bites up off of Los Frailles in the warm water but no reports of large fish yet.
YELLOWFIN TUNA: What can I say? I overheard one conversation on the radio this week where one captain was talking to another and mentioned getting into some decent Tuna, but there was no information as to when or where. Other than that, I didn’t hear of any action on the Tuna. Hopefully some of them will show up soon!
DORADO: A Friend of mine caught a couple of Dorado this week, one about 50 pounds and the other about 40 pounds up off of Cabo Pulmo. In our area the fish have been considerably smaller. Yesterday I caught on that might have pushed 10 pounds and it was caught on live bait on the inner Gorda Bank. There have been a few Pangas coming in that got into Dorado very close to shore, but again these have been small fish in the 8-10 pound class. These Dorado were caught in very shallow water while slow trolling live bait for Sierra and Roosterfish.
WAHOO: My same friend who got the two nice Dorado this week also managed to get two nice Wahoo in the same area. One of them was reported as being about 40 pounds and the other about 50 pounds. Other boats have found an occasional fish in the past two weeks but there has been on consistency to the catch, almost all of the fish have been incidental catch.
INSHORE: The inshore water has warmed up along with the offshore water so the Yellowtail bite we had going on last month really tapered off. A few fish are still being caught off of the arch but it really takes commitment to get one, as things are not hot and heavy and the Sea Lions make getting a fish that is hooked up almost impossible to get to the boat. The Sierra bite is still on, but not the numbers we were seeing earlier in the year. A 10 fish trip is still a happening thing, but 20 fish per trip is pretty much over for most of the boats. Bottom fishing is a bit better as there have been more Grouper and Snapper caught than in the previous month. There are also some pretty steady Roosterfish days. These great fighting fish are not large with the average weight being 10 pounds, but when the bite is on it has not been uncommon to have a 10 fish day.
NOTES: I apologize to everyone for missing the report last week. I came down with the flue and it was all I could do to keep working, let alone sit down and write. Things are better now though and I hope it remains that way, being sick sucks. On the note side of things there are two important issues that you need to be aware off. First off, if you need to get a fishing license, try and do it from the states before you come down. For some reason we are now required to go on-line to purchase licenses with a credit card, and there have been a lot of failures happening. Supposedly you can fill in the forms, print out a receipt and then print out your license, but as a few folks have found out, there are some bugs in the system. Paying for a yearly license, a friend printed out his receipt, then inserted the receipt number to print out his yearly license and instead had a yearly license for someone else printed, and it was not valid until November of this year. The good part of this is that they are not checking licenses until this issue is fixed. And by the way, it appears that our state was the only one in Mexico to have the fishing license fees raised at the beginning of the year, if you go on line the cost of a license is the same as it was last year. Hmm??? The other issue that you need to know about is the fact that the Mexican legislature passed the Shark Norma #029. This law allows the commercial fishing of sharks by long-line vessels within the Sea Of Cortez and on the Pacific. Striped Marlin and Dorado are a very significant by-catch of this method of fishing and in many peoples opinion since the value of the by-catch exceeds the value of the targeted species, this law is only a roundabout way for the commercial interests to get into a new market. You can imagine what sustained long lining will do to the “Marlin Capitol of the World” in a few years. Short sightedness on the part of the government and deep pockets of the commercial industry will end up killing sport fishing here unless the government changes its mind. That is not going to happen without a public outcry and if you want to make your voice heard, please contact either Minerva Smith at the Minerva Fleet or Tracy Ehernberg at the Pisces Fleet for information on what you can do to assist in opening the ears of the Mexican government. Until next week, Tight Lines!

Gordo Banks Pangas
San Jose del Cabo
May 13, 2007
Anglers –
Tourists visiting the Los Cabos area are experiencing paradise like weather conditions, clear sunny skies with high temperatures in the upper 80s. Crowds of people traveling to this Southern Baja resort have been lighter than normal for the month of May. For the past month local water temperatures have been fluctuating greatly, this past week the water is on a warming trend, particularly in the direction of the Sea of Cortez, through the region the water temperature is now ranging from the upper 60s on the lower Pacific to around 75 degrees in the vicinity of the Gordo Banks and up to 78 degrees off of the Los Frailes area.
Offshore action continued to be dominated by striped marlin, very few reports of dorado or yellowfin tuna. Mid week anglers encountered excellent action for striped marlin around the Gordo Banks, striped marlin could be seen feeding on the surface on balled up schools of mackerel. They were found in close proximity to shore, from 3 to 8 miles from shore, striking best on live bait, methods included slow trolling on the surface, casting to tailing or feeding fish, drift fishing bait down deep and others were striking on lures, average marlin caught weighed 100 to 150 pounds and many charters targeting billfish accounted for multiple catches per day. By the weekend this action had dispersed, as the baitfish moved and the fleet was once again scattered in search of the best action.
For the panga fleets the most consistent action continued to be in shallow water of 50 feet or less for a mix of snapper (pargo) species, sierra, jack crevalle, cabrilla and others. Most of these fish weighed less than ten pounds, but there were some exceptions, including one dogtooth snapper that weighed 45 pounds and cabrilla up to 15 pounds. This action was exclusively on bait, mainly sardinas, which were plentiful off of the La Playita area, there are now more schools of mullet moving into inshore waters, which have attracted more roosterfish and jack crevalle along the shoreline.
The Puerto Los Cabos marina project is now in the final stages, everyone is anxious to finally have this project finished. This past week the project has been stalled out due to protests by Green Peace, which has been camped out in the midst of the construction zone, blocking access roads for the heavy equipment. Hard to say what this group is trying to accomplish, it appears that it is much to late to try and halt the project, perhaps they are just trying to increase public awareness and gain media exposure.
The La Playita panga fleet sent out approximately 49 charters for the week and anglers produced a fish count of: 13 striped marlin, 5 dorado, 184 sierra, 13 pompano, 7 amberjack, 3 dogtooth snapper, 244 yellow snapper, 22 huachinango, 4 sheephead, 122 triggerfish, 16 cabrilla, 8 roosterfish and 42 surgeon fish.
Good Fishing, Eric

May 11, 2007
It was a transitional week in Ixtapa Zihuatanejo with Changing water conditions and the hangover effect of the full moon. AS a result of the changing conditions, Our captains reported sighting many more fish than were willing to bite. Captain Jose on the La Bamba reported 8 SAILFISH in 2 offshore days with Mr. Roger Crott’s group while Captain Vargas on the Marlin Azul reported 1 SAILFISH in 1 offshore day and a host of BONITOS, CHULAS and other small game on the 2nd day. Captain Chiro on The Bloody Hook recorded a 3 SAILFISH day for angler Mr. Charles Sanbury and released an estimated 250 Lb Blue Marlin and 2 Sailfish and 1 Shark in 3 other offshore days Captain Arturo on the Janeth reported a single Sailfish in one offshore day. Captain Adolofo concentrated his efforts on inshore where the Roosterfish have begun to show up. Captain Adolofo reported 3 Roosters to 20 lb along with 7 Yellowtail Jacks, 1 Wahoo, 7 Spanish mackerel and 8 Chulas. Although not quite there yet, the inshore fishery looks to be showing signs of a quick improvement. The upcoming week have historically been a good indicator of how well the inshore fishing will be. We still have good dates and captain available for this summer season.
Ixtapa Zihautanejo weather: Temps in the upper 80’s Sunny
Sea Conditions: Calm to moderate
Bait supply: Fair
Sincerely,
Stan Lushinsky

After this last week's short down-turn from the effect of the full moon, the fishing for all species has been turning on again. Last week's 114 boat annual sailfish tournament (the 40th) also hurt the fishing early in the week. There were just too many boats out there pounding the water. But, sailfish averages are again close to 6 to 8 strikes a day, one boat in three is getting a shot at a blue marlin, a few dorado are being taken, and the yellowfin tuna are at the thirty mile mark.
Plus, the roosterfish are starting to show on the beaches. In fact, this last Wednesday they really put on a great show down at Puerto Vicente Gro. Fly fishing client, Jim (Doc) Coulthurst of Portland, OR, fished with Cali and me in one of the three pangas set up for sport fishing in the Port (meaning it has a shade cover).
Doc is an experienced guide in the Northwest states, but this was his first time for roosters.
By 11:00, we had raised 20 roosters on a hookless popper, giving Doc five legitimate shots with the fly. He hooked two, but was only able to get one to the boat for photos. The roosters were all on the small side, averaging between 12 and 25 pounds. The big boys should follow in a couple of weeks.
Doc finished up the day catching several black skipjack tuna. At times there were so many tuna breaking the water, it sounded like a rainstorm. With acres of fish on the surface, it was almost a fish a cast.
Even Cali got into the action. With his first time ever at casting a fly rod, he managed to land several skipjack from the bow. He even talked about it with the other captains at the municipal pier in Zihuatanejo. He is hooked!

REPORT #1062 “Below the Border” Saltwater Fly-Fishing reports since 1996
Endless Season Update May 12, 2007
East Cape
While the roosters were not exactly numerous close to the beach there were a few quality shots and patience on the hunt finally paid off Friday when a true 'Grande' roosterfish came in from the deep water. After chasing a fly in classic fashion, the rooster with its comb fully extended, tracked the fly for a short distance and then devoured it. A brand new fly on a razor sharp hook wasn't enough to keep the fish hooked up and the fish came unbuttoned after a short fight. Those big ones are really tough to get a good hook set into. After all the hard work, it was brutally tough to see a 'Grande' swim away. But that's roosterfishing...the high's are high and the lows are low. Next time!
At least the jack crevalle were kind enough to eat flies with some frequency and take some of the sting out of big rooster loss. Early in the week, Lance battled with one of his best jacks ever. When those fish get over 20lb they are a force to be reckoned with.
The panga fleet had some great days on roosters to 10lb's just off the beach. Lance, fishing with Brad Ellis on his panga, “Macaira”, had some great action teasing roosterfish with live bait. In just a couple of hours they had lots of chances and Brad hooked 3 nice Pez Gallo on the new fly.
Dorado action was great for the few lucky ones who stumbled on the right school. For others, it was a single here and there. Yellowfin action disappeared when the Mexican seiners, led by a helicopter overhead, wiped out the school. However, by the end of the week the Seiners had been run off by the government and the YFT action picked back up.
While there are plenty of billfish to look at, getting them to bite is the tough part.

Magdalena Bay, Baja Mexico
The weather and Estero fishing both improved late in the week. The spotted bay bass, halibut and grouper finally decided to bite along with a few corvina. Out at the entrada the small yellows, along with schools of bonito, continued to put on a show, chasing bait on the surface. Down lower in the water column a few decent sized grouper were also willing to bite a slow-retrieved chartreuse Baja Deepdiver.
Out at the Entrada, the big swells, pushed by the wind, made it difficult to get under the bird schools feeding on the sardines that were chased to the surface by firecracker yellows and small bonito.
Offshore, strong winds and big swells prevented many boats from getting outside the Entrada.

Noel Gyger - WEEKLY FISHING REPORT dated April 29 – May 6, 2007
(Number 17)
Dear Fishing Friends:
Weather has been good this week, most rivers are in good shape. This time of year I like to remind folks of the great possibilities of angling for both Steelhead and Chinook on the same day. This is an exhilarating experience! Check out the article I wrote about it. It was a few years ago, well more than a few, but I think it is still applicable today. The article is posted on my website at: http://www.noelgyger.ca/articles/Articles-May-2nd-on-the-Kalum-by-Noel.doc Greg Buck, angling guide for Nicholas Dean Lodge, has been guiding his clients into good numbers of Steelhead and Chinook on the Kalum River.
Even though it is late in the spring season, May is “prime time” to fish for Steelhead on the Kitimat River. You still have some fresh fish coming-in and spawned fish going-out.
The isolated, wilderness coastal rivers along BC’s north and central coast are starting to fish “normal” for Steelhead. Waters are finally rising bringing in fresh runs. Fly fishing has been excellent under these conditions.
I have updated reports from Ron Wakita, Craig Murray and Chad Black this week.
MORE FIRSTS ON VIDEO: Over the last month, my two friends Mike and Silvio both landed their first Steelhead on the Kalum River. I did manage to shoot a video clip of both catches. The two “New” clips are now posted on my website at: http://www.noelgyger.ca/video-clips-web.htm They are Steelhead video clips number 0041 and 0042.
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: http://noelgyger.ca/special-guided.htm
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.

FISHING REPORT FROM NICHOLAS DEAN LODGE FOR THIS WEEK:
To me, one of the greatest fishing experiences in life is to explore new waters, whether they are new to you, or so remote that you might be the only angler fishing there over the course of the year. And it is even more special when that particular water happens to have Steelhead pushing against its flows, and other wildlife such as grizzly bears, moose, and bald eagles that move freely in environments as nature intended. The small coastal rivers that Dustin and the rest of our guides know intimately are one such place. These are small rivers that typically don’t support runs like the larger Skeena tributaries; in fact, some rivers may only get 50 to 150 adult fish returning. So on these systems, it is never a game of numbers, but more of quality. And with the water being almost crystal clear in most cases, the game of sight fishing for big Steelhead is usually an option. Water flows are typically very fast, with large drops and pocket water scattered throughout. Such rivers require that fish are very strong, which, lucky for us, often means that they are of a good size. While you might not catch one every time you go there, it is an incredible sight to see a 20 lb plus Steelhead slowly finning in a long tailout. So when the fishing on the Skeena Tributaries near Terrace was slow last week, Dustin took a few lucky anglers to a coastal river and after a long day of fishing, Don Powell managed to land a great 16 lb buck Steelhead on the fly. Congratulations Don on catching your biggest Steelhead yet!
Angling guide Dustin Kovacvich and his guest Craig Dennis admire a 16 lb fly-caught Steelhead from the Kitimat River
Conditions in the Skeena Region have improved somewhat since I reported last week. Although the Skeena is still rising from rain showers and snow melt, the water has become a little cleaner, allowing anglers to target more prime locations that weren’t fishable previously. Other Skeena Tributaries appear to be clearing for the time being, but as the temperature continually warms up (finally, after a long winter!!), it will only be a matter of time before the snow pack in the mountains inundates and colours up the rivers. The Spring Chinook run has been building over the last week and, as a result, are in enough numbers to be worth targeting.
Until next week, tight lines and screaming reels.
Chad Black
Operations Manager
Nicholas Dean Lodge…where every cast is an adventure!
SKEENA RIVER: since the river is rising fast fishing opportunities are lost.
KALUM RIVER: has an “excellent” run of Steelhead. Chinook (King) Salmon are also available in good numbers. Catching both Steelhead and Chinook on the same day is great fun. The river is rising but staying in fishable shape.
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: fishing for Coho will start again next fall. This is the river where a 27-pound record Coho was landed.
ZYMOETZ (COPPER) RIVER: is closed now for angling (as of December 31, 2006 above the lower canyon) to protect the “wintering over” wild Steelhead. Spring fishing is still available on the lower end below the canyon.
NOTE: additional rivers will be added “in season” when the fishing begins in the spring.
OCEAN FISHING PRINCE RUPERT: update coming soon
A summary of what is available year round can be read in the Archived Fishing Report dated April 13, 1997. For a direct link cast here: http://noelgyger.ca/archived-fishing-reports/Old Fishing Reports 1997.doc
AREA RIVER RECORDS: Chinook Salmon: Skeena River, 92.5-pounds; Kalum River, 85-pounds; Kitimat River, 74-pounds; Steelhead: Skeena River, 45-pounds; Coho Salmon: Skeena River, 27-pounds.
CURRENT REPORT and summary for Northern Coastal Rivers:
KITIMAT RIVER: Last Saturday I drifted with Mike Pashniak and Rob Keating
We had a great day. Mike and Rob were knowledgeable Fly fishers from Calgary and a pleasure to fish with. We fly fished mostly with a Nymphing technique using a strike indicator and an egg pattern as well as grease lined with a multi tip fly line. We also hot shotted a couple of spots after first fishing it with the fly. We hooked three Steelhead on the day landing one on the fly.
Angling Guide Ron Wakita, on the right, helping his client Mike pose this nice Steelhead landed with a fly
There has also been 3 chinook caught to date at the lower dike and one lost at the Pump house. These are both fishing holes in the lower Kitimat River. This is typical for Chinook to catch in late April and thru May. The main run of Chinook is in late June/July but there is an early run that we are starting to see now.
The Kitimat River was a little high and murky during mid week but is in great shape right now. There are plenty of Steelhead in the system and the conditions are perfect. Report and photos by Ron Wakita
OCEAN FISHING KITIMAT DOUGLAS CHANNEL:
Some boaters are still working the preseason quirks out of their boats. And then there are some who have not yet taken their boats out of Dry Dock. One of the more eager is Rob Lafferty and his group. They were rewarded for their enthusiasm with a 120lb. halibut. Congratulations Rob and group.
Pat Oliver, a guide and employee of the local tackle shop and his friend Clayton Harker also ventured out to catch a 80 lb halibut. They also brought home their full quota of crab and also a King Crab. 'It only took a 20 minute set' says Pat. Bottom fishing and Crabbing will continue to be the focus of the saltwater anglers as more and more boaters ready their boats for the fishing season. Report by Ron Wakita
CURRENT REPORT and summary for Central Coast/North Van Island Wilderness Rivers:
May 3, 2007
Fishing report from Nimmo:
This weeks Fishing Tail.
Sometimes having a human being in a picture along with a beautiful fish, takes away from the fish. Let's give credit where credit is due here. This big male decided that a fly looked good, knowing not what was on the other end. Some say fishing is a jerk at one end of the line waiting for a jerk at the other end of the line.
What ever the case, fishing could solve all the problems mankind has to put forth. Just being there in the fishes habitat makes a better individual. One learns to appreciate natures offerings like clean air, sweet water, verdant surroundings and peace and quiet. Who couldn't benefit from this.
This steelhead was a mainland fish in one of the pristine rivers we fish and was caught by a guest named Dean, on the fly. It was a late April caught fish, where the snow still covered patches of sand along the river. Water temperatures had risen to just 42 F. The cast was less than perfect, but sometimes the art of angling is forgiving, and wham, a take. Then skill takes over. Sometimes the fish wins and sometimes we get a picture.
This photo was taken by the new Olympus 770 SW, which is waterproof to 33 feet and shockproof from 5 feet. This is ideal for the avid Angler and photographer. It takes great pics under water as well. With a LowePro case attached to your wader strap for easy access to this camera, you will always be guaranteed of a great shot.
Stay tuned folks for the next edition from Nimmo Bay.
