[in the weeds]

I'm new to Kamloops this winter and am wondering if there is a web site to check when the ice starts to come off the lakes, or if it's a drive and find out myself??
any help or info would be great, maps would also be great thanks.

Well, your thread would be a great start for all us other angelrs in the Thompson Nicola Region to use to post our ice off discoveries! Here in the Kelowna area, not much available unless you want big water. Still a few weeks away yet but I'm sure it's any day now for the Thompson area lakes?

Here is the address for the Lac la Jeune webcam site! The lake is off the Coquihalla at 37 km south of Kamloops/47 km north of Merritt. It is a pretty good reference for the lake near 'Loops. Hope this helps ya!

In my years experience, area lakes usually become fishable in the first couple weeks in April. Only in odd cases whent the weather is real warm in February do we get lucky in March. Some area lakes open April 1st, the rest open May 1st.

in the weeds - you are in Kamloops? take a short drive to Edith or Jocko. Pop over to Kamloops Fly Shop and talk to the guys there. By all means post here and let those of us not fortunate to live in the heart of rainbow lakes know what the situation is like. I'm going nuts down heere just waiting. Thanks.

Was out the other day, still at least 8 inches of ice on the lowest lakes in the area, and it's really cold today. -6 and windy. I hate winter.

Just giving everyone a report as April 1st is right around the corner. All the lower lakes still have ice on them as of yesterday. Temps are still around freezing at night, when will it end??!!!! Opening day might not be.

Hey FF - you know I'm in for some trips! I've been tying up some trout patterns already.

You know it Fish Finder! Trying to figure out when our favorite stillwater turns over is the key to early angling success and then all you need is to find the correct depth, color and size and it's chironomid fever and fish after fish! I can't wait!

I was just up on the fishing highway (hwy. 24) on the weekend and there was still ice on the lakes. There was some water starting to pool on the ice though, which means that it shouldn't be to long now!! Here is a picture od Lac Des Roche Lake
as of Sunday the 25th of march.
