I really enjoy from Smithers west

Actually, once you get to the Hungry Hill Summit it's really beautiful. Anything between PG and Houston is just like driving northern Alberta, just some of the hills are bigger. Though the one straight stretch before Houston where you can see Morice and Nadina Mountain in the same view is nice.
As for fishing a long the way... you'd never make it to rupert before you had your limit of every available species, both daily and possesion limits.
Sockeye are in Babine lake, every species of salmon is in the Skeena, and Nass though chinooks will be spawned out. Kitimat is plugged full of fish. Smaller lakes that are within a short drive of the highway, depending on how much rain they've got, have turned over by now so fishing will have slowed down but still good on the bigger lakes. Most of the streams and creeks you'll cross will hold fish.
For novelty sake, make a stop on the east end of Fraser Lake at Pipers Glen and fish the worlds shortest river. The turn off to the river is just before Pipers Glen by a few KM, I think it's called Clark Pit Rd. It's at the end of the straight stretch as you leave Fort Fraser after crossing the Nechako. No idea on how it fishes, but like I said, for novelty sake.
