Fishing
Report: Morice supports a good fishery for Rainbow,
Cutthroat
and Lake
Char. This large lake will produce Lake Char to 12+ lbs.,
Rainbows to 6+ lbs. and Cutthroat to 3 lbs. Trolling is the
most popular method whether using large plugs and spoons for
Char, or using smaller lures for Rainbow and Cutthroat. However,
fly fishing has met with excellent success, and it is well recommended
stopping in at the local fly and tackle shop in Houston to enquire
about what should be used in this lake, as well as other lakes
in the region. Excellent
Dolly, Cutthroat, Steelhead and Chinook salmon fishing can
be found on the nearby Morice River. The river is fishable almost
its entire length from the north end of Morice Lake to where
it drains into the world famous Bulkley River near Houston.
Most of the Morice
River is road accessible. Drift gear and flies are used
for Steelhead, while spoons and spinning gear are used mainly
for Chinook
salmon.
While on the subject of river fishing it must be mentioned that
the North by Northwest region of British Columbia boasts many
legendary Steelhead and Salmon rivers. Some of these include
the Bulkley, Babine, Kispiox,
Sustat, Suskwa, Skeena, Nass, Lakelse, Kitimat, Cranberry, Copper,
Kalum and on the Queen Charlotte Islands are the Tlell and Yakoun
rivers. These are just some of the of the more famous rivers
which hold world record Steelhead trout, Chinook, Coho,
Sockeye, Pink
and Chum salmon.
Steelhead which are usually fished either by float/drift or
with flies (both wet and dry) have been caught and released
up to 40+ lbs. Chinook salmon, known by many as Springs, Kings
or Tyees, have been caught weighing up to 90 lbs., with most
falling somewhere between 20 and 60 lbs. Large spin and glows,
spoons and spinners are the lures of choice. If all this sounds
exciting, click on the River Fishing section of this program.
