P)l;Planning A Steelhead trip in April.
Always wanted to visit Kitimat.
Gold's been disapointing last 3 years and maybe want a change.
Any suggestions..., Thanks, H.H

If you're going to go North are you planning to be guided??.
Kalum also has a strong winter run of large wild fish.

Thanks for the reply Ironhead,There will be 3 of us , and were thinking of getting a guide for the first day of a 3 day trip, and on our own for the remainder.
How far is the Kalum from the Kitimat hotel ?
Any other suggestions ???
Could you recommend a guide in the area.
H.H.

Babine/Kispiox - gear fishing
Bulckley - fly fishing
Morice - Not as good but still great

Big gear needed, good chance that u'll hook a 20lber. Those fish get real big!

'Hank, Definitely go north. If there are three of you, do you have a vehicle? What type of fishing and how much do you want to spend? Check the geography in the area. Kalum is closer to Terrace. Kitimat is 20 miles south of Terrace and is a great drift in the Spring....Conditions, can be VERY variable from day to day...PM me and I will give you more specifics....Ortho

having fished both areas I agree, head North to the Kalum / Kitimat Rivers they are only about and 45 mins apart and IMHO are both better bets than the Gold has been recently.
