Fishing Report: This lake provides some of the best angling oppurtunity in the Kootenay region. Rainbow trout are stocked in the lake and weigh an average of 0.5 and 2 kg (1 and 4.5 lbs) with species of up to 8 kg (17.6 lb) recorded. Fly fishing is excellent either early or late in the season. Use chironomid, halfback, fullback, Doc Spratleys and shrimp patterns for best results.
Be sure to visit Fishbc.com for angling information!

Note: Always check your current BC Fishing regulations before you start fishing a new lake.
