Skeena River:
Skeena River is divided into four sections: Skeena 1 (non-classified) Exchamsiks River downstream to the ocean. Skeena 2 (class 2 water) Exchamsiks River upstream to 1.5 km above Kalum River. Skeena 3 (non-classified) 1.5 km above the Kalum River upstream to 1.5 km above Zymoetz River. Skeena 4 (class 2 water) 1.5 km above Zymoetz River upstream to the head-waters.
Sun April 21/19 5:06am River is very low and very clean...just a little ice left. A record number of summer-run Steelhead have moved up the river according to the Tyee Test Fishery.. Both fly and spin are working well. All Salmon fishing closed October 31st. Stay tuned...lots of options of where you can fish, guided or not. You are ALL WELCOME ☺We are so blessed to have so many rivers, creeks and lakes to fish, oh did I say ocean out of Kitimat or Prince Rupert? WOW the variety...
REPORT - April 13, 2019 from Tracey John Hittel of Kitimat Lodge, Guides getting "them" into fish
Come on...it does not get much better than this...or it could if his next cast hooks into another one. Book with me try your luck... Back to back Steelhead, its been done, Yahoo ♥
REPORT - April 8, 2019 from Tracey John Hittel of Kitimat Lodge, A cracking season opener for our clients
A cracking season opener for our clients that visit the Northern BC coast in search of hot Steelhead. One of our clients caught a steelhead in the first pool of the day after 5 casts! Now that’s good guiding. River levels are creeping up and so are the tidal Steelhead entering the rivers for the May spawn.
REPORT - Jan 15, 2019 from Tracey John Hittel of Kitimat Lodge, Looking forward to a fabulous fish guiding season
During the spring season the Skeena River is quite low. The opportunity to hook numerous Steelhead is a great option as it’s world famous and home to the record size Steelhead you see in many photographs. Skeena tours are by Jetboat where we fish long runs which hold many Steelhead enroute to their tributaries of birth. The mountains are painted with snow and the scenery and crisp mornings are a must. Anglers can make their longest cast with a Scandinavian line with a light tip. Again these Steelhead are fresh and hot and expect your reel to scream once you hookup. March to May us your best chance and expect the start of the Chinook Salmon that come in May, these brutes top 20-40 pounds of pure silver so your gear has to be in top notch shape.
BOOK your preferred dates NOW don't miss out!

Featured Article: The mist rises from the Skeena - by Tracey John Hittel http://www.noelgyger.ca/articles/The_mist_rises_from_the_Skeena.PDF
Recommendation from Cuchulain Hammilcar I've been fly fishing with Tracey and his Steelhead Heaven for the last 10 years or so. At the start the entire setup was good, now it is excellent. Tracey and his team have given me excellent value over the years. The rivers in his portfolio are some of the best in the world. For the fly fishermen/women out there I suggest taking a double hander switch rod with you. Tight lines...
REPORT - Nov 8, 2018 from Tracey John Hittel of Kitimat Lodge, Well the November snow has finally hit the mountains and making its way closer to the majestic Skeena and Kitimat valleys. This fall the Steelhead and Coho fishing was off the charts and pictured above are a few of the snaps we took of our clients from England, USA and Japan. All the Steelhead and Coho were in great shape and hot, making for epic fights on the Sage Spey rods. April will be your next opportunity for Steelhead, so please book your group early as space is already limited for this short season. Thanks again to all our guides and lodge staff and our new and repeat clients. Have a good winter ♥ I suggest you lock in some dates soon by contacting me Tracey John Hittel anytime via e-mail tjhittel@telus.net or give me a call on my cell phone 250-639-4277.
REPORT - Nov 5, 2018 from Tracey John Hittel of Kitimat Lodge, SEASON OPENER on April 1, 2019. The above 4 pics were from season opener in 2014 and from all the experience we have we can expect the same in 2019. Steelhead on as many as five rivers, inland and coastal we do em all. We are licensed with rod-days to guide on section 2 of the Skeena and the whole Kalum River. We are already taking bookings and dates are filling in...so...if you and or group are interested I would suggest you lock in some dates soon by contacting me Tracey John Hittel anytime via e-mail tjhittel@telus.net or give me a call on my cell phone 250-639-4277. Oh...and while you are here you should enjoy a feed of fresh Dungeness Crab from the Douglas Channel.
PS: We highly recommend the BEST fishing attire by Simms.

Understanding website statistics
Page Views
The “page views” statistics give a clear induction of site traffic. “Page view” measures the entire page, and tells you how many times people have visited that particular page. By understanding “page views” and knowing which pages are being looked at, you can determine the overall popularity of a site, and which pages within it are being viewed most often.
Visits
“Visits” are one of the more useful measurements of web statistics. A visit includes all of the pages viewed by a visitor to your site. The measurement of “Visits” begins when a person enters your site and ends when the same visitor leaves the sir or remains idle for a period of time (usually 30 minutes). Usually, one person visiting your site 15 times is counted the same as 15 people visiting one time each, so you can see, that while useful, the measurement is not perfect.
Unique Visitors
This a more precise way to measure visitors to your site, as each person is counted only once, regardless of how many times they visit during a fixed time frame, typically 30 days. They are measured according to their unique IP address which is a number allocated by an ISP (Interpret Service Provider).
Please feel free to contact me Noel Gyger anytime and I will be happy to send you the latest statistics for our website via e-mail PDF attachment. Thank you for your interest.

Morton wins case against DFO on fish farms
If the mere presence of PRV in farmed Atlantic salmon smolts is sufficient to prevent licences from being issued, that could be devastating for the fish farm industry https://bit.ly/2HVd9d2 "They basically don’t have fish if they can’t use PRV-infected fish" said Alexandra Morton
Sat March 2/19 6:03am Why I am in Court with the Minister again..
Hello, I am in court next week to stop piscine reovirus from entering BC waters. I already won this case, but the Minister of Fisheries refuses to acknowledge the court's decision. The Namgis of Alert Bay have filed a lawsuit to stop the Minister of Fisheries and Marine Harvest from putting piscine reovirus-infected farm salmon into their territory. A reasonable request as this is the law. These cases will be heard together Monday - Friday September 10-14, 701 W. Georgia St., Vancouver.
This is a critical moment for the salmon farming industry, because they are so heavily infected they state they will be "severely" impacted if they can't grow piscine reovirus infected fish in their farms.
By the end of the month, the BC government talks with Broughton Nation governments will decide the fate of the salmon farm tenures in the archipelago.

Saving salmon - Black ops and a sailing ship
Hello, Below is a link to an update on my efforts to protect wild salmon from salmon farms. I have hope we will be successful, but it is now a race against extinction of some wild runs. However, so many people are involved now that wild salmon have a much better chance for survival.
On September 10, the real fight begins as my lawsuit with Ecojustice and a Namgis lawsuit are heard together in Vancouver to halt the dirty practice of transferring piscine orthoreovirus infected Atlantic salmon into salmon farms on the BC coast. This is against the law in Canada, and I already won a case ruling that the Minister of Fisheries must screen farm salmon for this virus, but he has chosen to ignore this decision.
We have vessels hired by Marine Harvest following us everywhere; they have blacked out windows, more aggressive than smart for an industry on thin ice. However, a court ruling last week gave me permission to continue sampling near Marine Harvest farms, so the research into their impact continues.
http://alexandramorton.typepad.com/alexandra_morton/2018/08/30-days-on-martin-sheen.html
This fight continues to escalate.

Dungeness Crab Feast
■ I am starting to post my "older" video clips on my YouTube Channel when I was still a fishing guide. I posted the first one yesterday. Title is Dungeness Crab Feast. Now, when I say older this one is 27 years old...but beauty I think, staring my two BEST friends and fishing buddies the late Ed Schulmeister and Lester Bryant.
Here is the direct link to the under 2 minute video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRciNnrApyc&t=22s
Hope you enjoy. I could do it all over again if I could and I did my BEST to help other fishing guides in the business. I was their chairman from 1996 to 2006. We were called SAGA (Skeena Angling Guides Association).
■ Noel Gyger posted a NEW video on his YouTube Channel March 11th, the video is titled: Season Review 1995 - Guides test fishing, see Noel Gyger YouTube Videos, here is the direct link to the new video, or should I say old video ♥♥♥:

Sun April 21/19 4:53am
My honour to work with April Vokey - by Noel Fredric Gyger
April Vokey visits Noel Gyger in his office in Terrace BC and explains to him how she would fly fish "his" rivers. Noel listened to every word. He knows April is the very BEST. Noel knows every inch of every river in northwest BC but is always willing to learn more how to fish them.

My honour to meet Jim Teeny - by Noel Fredric Gyger
I first met the legend Jim Teeny in the early 90s when he came out with the late Larry Schoenborn to shoot a fly fishing Steelhead TV show on the Kispiox River. Larry had asked me if I could supply two drift boats, I said sure, no problem. It was an honour to be asked. One boat for Jim and Larry and one for the TV crew. I rowed one boat and my dear friend, the late Ed Schulmeister, rowed the other. My boat took Jim and Larry and Ed took the camera crew.
The regulation on the Kispiox is power boat ban and you cannot fish from the boat, the boats can be used for transport only. We launched above the Sportsmen’s Lodge for a drift of about 6 miles. We covered a lot of water and fished many tail-outs and pools. Unfortunately we did not have any luck higher up. It wasn’t until we got to our take-out where we found the Steelhead and Larry’s camera crew shot a wonderful show.
Larry Schoenborn produced “Fishing the West” TV show and "Larry’s Travel Agency" out of Portland Oregon, USA.. Ed and I were not paid but all our expenses were covered by Larry. I can honestly and proudly say Ed and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Jim had fished the river a few years back and knew a few of the runs, but at that time did not have a boat therefore his fishing was limited.
When the shoot was over and we were back in Terrace I invited Jim and Larry to fish on a few of our local rivers. We fished on the Zymoetz (Copper) River and a small tributary called the Clore. On the Clore, Jim landed a beauty. Larry could not fish as he had injured his right hand. We also fished the Lakelse River which at the time was crowded with anglers fishing for Coho. Jim blew away anglers with his casting skills by using his world famous “Teeny” lines and an assortment of “Teeny” flies. He could cast from one side of the river to the other with no effort. WOW did this look good.
From this trip we gained a lot of guiding business for my lodge. Jim knew many people. Many of them from Hollywood, such as movie star agent Skip Brittenham. Jim came back the next year with his wife Donna and Skip and his wife actresses Heather Thomas. Henry Winkler (the Fonz of "Happy Days" TV show) was supposed to be along but had to cancel last minute.
I fished with Jim and Donna on the Kitimat River in May of 1991 and landed a very nice Steelhead with one of Jim’s flies, it was a Black #2 Teeny Nymph and a T-300 Teeny line. Before Jim’s group left for home I bought a Jim Teeny Fly Vest for myself and a bunch of Teeny Nymph flies to sell at my lodge Tackle Shop.
The rest is “history” as they say ☺

Rogers Fishing Lodge
Sun April 21/19 4:50am
Rodgers Fishing Lodge is located on the west coast of Vancouver Island about 90 miles due west of Campbell River in Esperanza Inlet. Rodgers is one of the busiest fishing lodges on the B.C. coast, entertaining over 1200 guests a year. They also enjoy one of the longest seasons on the coast running from May 1 to September 30.
This will be their 33rd year in the Sport Fishing business and 25th year in Esperenza Inlet. Rodgers has shown a remarkable rate of growth over the past 4 years. Their gross revenue has more than doubled since 2010. The Lodge has a location second to none as it is ideally situated to take advantage of some of the most outstanding fishing opportunities on the BC coast for Salmon, Halibut, Bottom Fish and Tuna.
Black Bear and Bald Eagles are regularly seen by the lodge. They have the largest colonies of Sea Otters on the coast and the Gray, Orca and Humpback Whales pass by on their way to and from the Bering Sea.
The owners love the business, but feel now is the time to turn the reins over to someone younger who shares the same passion for the outdoors and who is looking for a wonderful rewarding lifestyle.
