Don't know if you've left yet, buzzcatcher, but, I would be prepared to change location ( i.e.- elevation) as I believe alot of the lakes in that area as well as nearby, which are approximately the same in elevation are already turning over. I was up fishing the Kane valley lakes as well as others starting with Harmon on April 28/06. We fished Friday afternoon for a couple of hours and were into fish to 7lbs, but the bite was pretty short. We fished the next day, barely got a touch, and then got blown off the lake with 60km winds. We fished it the next day, caught fish 3-6lbs but again the bite was of short duration. The other lakes opened the next day(May 1st) so we set up at Englishman on Sunday nite, to get ready for the next morning. Monday we got 3" of snow and a really depressed barometer. Fished Englishman Tues. morn before deciding that it had already started to flip. It was that horrendous wind that started it. The ice came completely off these lakes on about April 26th. Englishman starts turning rapidly in these conditions as it is small and mostly shallow( Deepest hole is 31ft)We wen't up in elevation to another lake that sits at just over 4000ft. The ice came off at 4:00 in the afternoon when we arrived and I thought "Wow" !!! But the fishing never really produced, and the fish were stationary in a 50ft hole suspended at 35ft. They were reachable but would'nt bite. Caught a few but, pretty slow for a lake that the ice "just" came off. The weather was warmer and a fair amount of midge activity was going on but the fishing was not on. A friend that was to join us that morning but got stuck in really deep mud( the road up near the lake was in really poor condition with lots of snow)managed to get a couple of Fish B.C. guys to pull him out, and he opted to head down to Kane lake, as one of our guys had caught a 10lber there that morning. We went there the next morning and it was over. It was the only fish and only bite anyone had in two days. Anyway, look for the tell tale signs of turnover, ( floating debris including snails and suspended glassworms) and don't kick a dead horse!!!!!! Good Luck!!
