I fished there last year on May long. The lake is quite big so if you plan on using a tube I would reccommend going just infront of the resort called moondance bay there is a really nice shoal area there and in the evenings and mornings some big bows cruise the shallows :thumbup: . I arrived just after an ant hatch so the fishing was pretty slow but we still managed quite a few nice fish. There are some monster lakers in there so that could also be a lot of fun to target.
Bridge Lake??
has anyone ever fished this lake up in the 100 mile area
where are good spots on the lake ?
what tackle should i use gear or fly ?
would a float tube be stupid as its fairly good sized ?
any info thanks
HOOK
i might be heading there on the July long if that time frame helps

Yah to the best of my knowledge burbot are like fresh water ling cod, I have never targeted them but they are in a few of the lakes up in that area. As for the lakers they can get pretty big, if you plan on targeting lakers then you might want to take something that can handle a bigger fish other that a 5 wt eace: . We were there pretty early in the season so I fished a few different flies with the majority of my success coming from a little forte leach pattern (basically a small leach with a red tail section) fished with a floating line cast from the shoal area into the deeper section with a slow retrieve. Flies for this time of year could be damsels, dragons, chronies but really would need to be determined once you are there. There are tonnes of smaller lakes in the area that can produce large rainbows at this time of year...Irish (on the right hand side of hwy 24 on your way to bridge), crystal, janice, fawn..etc. If you would like some more details on the smaller lakes just let me know.
