Hey guys all this conversation about multi-digit fish is more then enough excitement to get me up on the lakes - that's how I ended up on Kump and Roche last year. Yeah I know both of those lakes are cake walk drives to reach in comparison, but I've only been at this a few years.
I guess I still come back to my original question on how to best access Thalia and its neighbouring lakes? I'm all into exploring, but at the current time I'm driving in solo and don't really want to tackle a truck eating mud hole (that I don't have to) and have to hike out because there isn't anyone to pull me out. :wallbash: I really really like fishing, but I also don't like looking like a complete idiot having to walk out and having to call for a tow. :naughty: I guess experience has taught me to ask questions first, not later. So I may look a little dumb here, but here is better then stuck in a hole or driving in circles.
Looking at the BC Backroads map books, Fish Wizard, Google Earth, and any other resource I've gotten my hands on to date it's just not obvious the best way in. Is it as well marked as Spiker indicates and I'm just being fooled because I'm using the wrong maps or over thinking the whole thing? The Backroads map book I've got is for all of BC. The entire area around Thalia over to the 5A is about 2 sq inches. It shows so little detail its not funny. While I wouldn't turn down the perfect driving instructions or joining someone who has driven in before - I would like to know that I've got the right maps and information before I go it alone. Maybe the better question is what resources do you guys use to get into these areas or is it strictly drive, search, backup :naughty:, and finally find :happy:.
