well seeing as how the usual suspects open up today I thought I would get out the fly rod and shake off some of the rust this past weekend. Headed out to one of the smallest lakes I have ever fished. I would say it was about 300m long and about 50 - 70 meters across. Anyhow wasn't expecting much just wanted to get out there but not only was the weather perfect and not a person in sight but I must have had rainbows on every other cast. I used a leach at the start off the day and then made myself a extremely small orange scud pattern as the lake was crawling with them and i couldn't keep the fish off my hook. Most of the fish were in the 13-14 inch range and lots of fun on a 3 or 4 W. Now to head up to the interior and get into some bigger fish. Great day on the puddle!!

hey Srethy

what little puddle is that ?? would be a good place for me to get the g/f into a float tube as the lake isnt too big and easier to kick around in

tight lines

Srethy who was taking the pics ???

I was up there with a good buddy who has recently become addicted to our wonderful sport. I guess not a person in sight was a false statement. I think there was one other guy I didn't know in a tube later in the day.

dont let Srethy fool ya he is like the Survivor man and just had the camera sitting on the shoreline or a log or something LOL

sure a nice lake but far to drive for a day for little trout LOL

much rather do the days trip to the interior now that its open

hey Srethy I know the Saturday got botched for the spey Steely day but you wanna do a day trip with the tubes in JUNE to the interior

Yah sounds like a good idea. I have wanted to check out a few little lakes in the 100 mile area that i fished a few years ago with a lot of success. They should be good in June. I will let you know how the self taught spey fishing goes

 

[HOOK]

oh ouch i didnt know you were teaching yourself YIKES that could be dangerous buddy

thats why i took the class to get the basic idea, think i will take another one before the Fraser opens so I can use it for sockeye and pinks

dont forget that helmet LOL

i was thinking more like merritt/kamloops lakes as its not so far to drive

do you know how much it is to do Corbett for the day or maybe gettin into one of the Douglas ranch lakes for the day ??

Yah Kamloops area sounds good too. I am heading up to Douglas Lake ranch at the end of May but if you wanted to hit some of those lakes in June I would be very interested, the fees are different for every lake. Here's the link

Hey HOOK! I'd be willing to do a day trip up to Merritt/Kamloops in early June. Lemme know...as well, we should meet up at Tunkwa/Leighton at some point in Late June for a weekend as well. I wanted to fish with ya last year but things got a little busy here at work. Cheers man! -Nathan in NW
