Greetings and welcome to our website, we dedicate this website to all of you who appreciate the fishing we enjoy in the northwest corner of our province.
We feature both lake and river fishing, we love them both equally, we will not be doing weekly fishing reports its too much work for an old fart to do and it always occurs when we ourselves are busy fishing as well. On the other hand if there is important news and we have time to post it, we will share it with you as quickly as we can. Hopefully we can give you the information that is missing from all the other fishing websites that are more about advertising than they are about fishing.
It should be noteworthy that the USA has no shortage of salmon or steelhead, yet in Canada we have Steelhead, Bull Trout, Chinook, Coho and Steelhead all on the brink of extinction.
Federal and provincial politics are driving our resources into extinction, using ‘Reconciliation’ as their modus operandi.
Coho Salmon and Steelhead
in a
“State of Crisis”
Steelhead numbers on this date are 28.47 (in thousands) and Coho are at 16.68 (in thousands) and Chinook are completely closed to save the species are at 114.48 (in thousands) is an indicator that the DFO are as political incompetent as the CBC, they should be fired without compensation.
We urge you all to take note that our lakes and rivers are in serious danger, not from oil or pipelines forestry or climate change, but from abusive goverment practices. At the declining rate of what non aboriginals are facing, soon we will be down in numbers so low that only people with a drop of aboriginal DNA in them will be allowed to catch and possibly even eat fish. If we wait to act, it will be already gone. Look at Chinook fishing, its gone, only commercial and FN can catch them now. Anyone watching the coho and steelhead numbers (2025 Tyee Count) should be aghast at how nets in the Skeena are wiping out these species, its just a matter of time and they too will be closed to non aboriginal citizens. Lakes, are being ignored, other than the goverment tax grabs on licensing, the only good news is stocking lakes.
To add insult to injury, on top of the “Walls of Death” higher up on the Skeena, try subtract the confidential count of the new pound trap, paid for by non aboriginals. We are on the brink of discovering the worst Coho count in recorded history, but the DFO certianly does not care, they are too busy selling “political reconciliation”.
You will also find some hard hitting commentary, due to the absolute neglect of our lakes and rivers by both the Ministry of Environment and the DFO, we will not sidestep issues, forget politically correct, it will be no holds barred commentary in defending and protecting our fish, our lakes, our rivers and our children’s future. And no we are not environmental idiots or activists (same thing) we are and remain committed to looking after our heritage. If we do not speak up we may just lose it forever. When I say neglect, it is because “they” the DFO and MOE no longer act based on the science, they now act based on the politics of their masters.
I would like to take this opportunity to request something from our lake fishing community. If you really love our lakes and I am sure you do, start demanding that the goverment does a current fish inventory on every lake in our region, waiting until the fish hit extinction is not management, its mismanagement. When you check our list of lakes, have a look at the last time out goverment cared enough about our lakes to inventory them.
FROM THE EDITORS DESK – Most of the lakes in our region have some history attached and with so many logging pioneers passing on, much of our rich history is lost. We would sure appreciate it if anyone knows about the history of some of these lakes, please contact us so we can share our rich history, if not for logging and mining we would not have all these stunning gems in our region to enjoy. Please use our contact us page, and we will reply by email.
