| Fishing is an ancient practice that dates back to at least the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic period about 40,000 years ago. Isotopic analysis of the remains of Tianyuan man, a 40,000-year-old modern human from eastern Asia, has shown that he regularly consumed freshwater fish. |

| Whats in a name you ask? |
| If we’re going to be strict about it, jellyfish and starfish are not really fish because they don’t have a backbone. As a correction, many public aquariums are now using the terms “sea jellies” and “sea stars”. |

| Taste Buds ? Catfish have a more refined sense of flavor than humans. Our 10,000 taste buds may seem like a lot, but catfish can have as many as 175,000. This helps them find the exact location of their next meal. |

Jan 15, 2003; 09:20PM - Zombie Rig
|
|
Category: Rigging techniques
|
|
Author Name: Wes Partain
|
Tip&Trick Description 1:
I primarily use this rig for King Mackeral fishing on the East coast. The rig is very simple. When using a ribbon fish deep try attaching a single bait hook roughly 8-10 inches above the ribbon fish. This technique will provide more action to the dead ribbon fish and will also appear to the King Mackeral that the ribbon is attempting to feed on the live bait. All avid King Mackeral anglers know that a large king is more acceptable during a feed. I hope that this rig will help add an edge to everyone who fishes live bait for King Mackeral. The rig should be tied as described below:
30 - 50lb barrel swivel to haywire twist, 4 inch #6 leader wire, haywire twist to single bait hook (sz. preference), haywire twist 8 inch #6 wire, Hookup jig head 3/16, haywire twist to 3 or 4 hook stinger setup. No picture is provided due to the length of the rig. The small wire and hooks are not noticable when whole rig is in frame.

We were doing a shoot on the Kalum River in the spring. The wild Steelhead at this time come in all colours. The males usually are darker than the females. Some fish have been in the river all winter and some have just come in. You dont know which ones you are going to catch. Just kiss em all and let em go! If you are interested to watch any of these fishing shows on DVD please contact Italo.

Noel Gyger - WEEKLY FISHING REPORT dated December 30 January 6, 2008
(Number 52)
Dear Fishing Friends:
SUMMARY: I am celebrating one year of publishing the fishing reports, hope you will celebrate with me. Yes, its been one year. How time flies. The first report, in this new series, was sent out on January 7, 2007 exactly 52 weeks ago to a new e-mail list. I would like to thank everyone who signed up over the year to receive them.
Winter Steelheading is in full swing on a number of our local rivers. The day time air temperatures have been hovering around zero to plus one. Sometimes rain, sometimes snow. Anyway, typical fishing conditions for this time of year. Most all rivers are low and clean. Be careful walking on the ice near the edges. The Kitimat River is fishing OK for Trout if you can find some open water.
Thank you to those who have sent me their vote for best 2007 fishing Photo of the Week. Keep those votes coming. It is wonderful to hear from you.
LIST OF New ITEMS POSTED ON THE WEBSITE THIS WEEK:

NOW BOOKING FOR 2008 Let me know if I can be of service to book you with the 'best' fishing guide and/or fishing lodges. There are NO extra charges to book through me, just a lot of free information and advice from a person with years and years of fishing and fish guiding experience. It is like hiring two guides for the price of one. I will promptly answer your questions and concerns. Cast here http://noelgyger.ca/special-guided.htm to read more of what I have to offer.
Many people book three trips per year to our area; one trip in the spring (March-April-May), one trip in the summer (June-July-August) and one trip in the fall (September-October-November). They love having the same guide but fishing for different fish in different areas.
Be sure to check out my website at www.noelgyger.ca for news bulletins, mid week fishing updates, conservation, my history, quality waters strategy, special guided fishing trips, video clips, scenic river photos, wildlife photos and others, comments from past guests, informational articles, archived fishing reports from 1996 through 2002 and a sportfishing market place. I hope it meets with your entire satisfaction.

2007 SEASON REVIEW:
As we approach mid winter my mind drifts back to a particular warm summer day in July 4th, 2007. My family and I were fishing with ocean charter guide Wes Owen who operates out of the Douglas Channel near Kitimat. We thought if the fishing for Chinook was slow we would try to net some Dungeness Crab. Wes said we should be able to catch both. He was correct. We did catch both and we had a great day. Wes is a first class guy. We all were very comfortable on his 11 foot beam, Bayliner 'Lil Kris'. Check out the video clip at: Video Clip 0005 Title: A day with charter guide Wes Owenor check out the full report (to warm your bones from the winter chills) at http://www.noelgyger.ca/weekly-fishing-reports/july-1-8_2007.doc

The photo above was sent to me by Genady Davidov. Genady and his two fishing friends had booked a guided fishing trip with me and they said they had a great time. They were guided to many different rivers and caught many Steelhead, Salmon, Trout and Dolly Varden Char.
