Hi
My brother-in-law is coming to Vancouver for 10 days starting tomorrow. I was thinking of taking him to local lakes I had fished years ago. Mike and Weaver were good in thoes days. He hert his back reciently and does not want to go to Merrit etc. Any sugestions? Cheers Bill

Is Mike lake not a walk in lake? Never been there. but from experience with back problems hiking is probably not a good idea

Are you fishing from shore? If yes then mike may not be a good choice.It is not a hike in lake but there is not much shore area available.If you have a boat then it is ok.Weaver I don't know.You may want to try buntzen with or without a boat it will probably work.There is a good dock beside the boat ramp to fish from.And there is mill lake in abby.good luck.

Hi
Tahnks for the response. Mike Lake is near Golden Ears park. I have a inflatable raft for him to use and I always usually use a float tube. We are going to fly fish and he can troll his fly. I was at Dear Lake in Burnaby yesterday and saw no insects-maybe it's too early for good flyfishing? I cast a few flys but had no luck but I didn't spend all that much time fishing.
Cheers Bill

Mike Lake is a good choice for you guys. Easy to get raft and tube in. Drive to parking lot and walk down path to new dock. Let us know how you do. 8)

 

[Oh-Oh shut the motor off!]

Spoke with the parks guys who said the old grumpy man who looks after the key at weaver has disappeared. Therefore one can't get into it until the long weekend! Good luck!

u may want to try mill lake in abbotsford, they have just stocked it up a few weeks back and the fishing should be good. they put in lots of adult sized ones too.
