Kootenay Key Map

The Kootenay region, situ-ated in British Columbia’s

southeast corner, is known for rugged mountains and river

v a l l e y s . T h e

lakes in this region range from long, deep trench lakes to small, highly productive trout lakes.

Larger lakes featured in this guide include Kootenay and Upper Arrow Lakes. The re-maining lakes showcased here are considerably smaller and many are great for small crafts,

even belly boats.

We also feature two rivers in this guide

for those who enjoy fishing

moving wa-ter: the

E l k

River along the eastern edge of the region, and the Columbia River between Castlegar and the US border.

The waters featured in this guide are only a fraction of the fabulous fishing available throughout the Kootenays. Vis-it our website at www.Angler-sAtlas.com, where we profile thousands of lakes across Brit-ish Columbia. Tight lines!

CONTINUING IN 2015

This year we updated the complete listing of all mem-

bers of the BC Fishing Resorts and Outfitters Association, as well as the Regional Fishing Regulations for the Kootenay region. Once again we include

all stocked lakes in the region, releasing rain-

bow trout, kokanee and eastern brook trout into more than 100 lakes in the Kootenays.

caMpbell laKe

Campbell Lake is designated one of the region’s family

fishing waters. These lakes are so-named because they of-fer convenient access and good opportuni-ties to fish from shore or from a small boat. Campbell Lake is s tocked w i t h adult and catchable-sized rain-bow trout.

Randy Martin, from Mountain Man Outdoors, says that Campbell Lake is a nice small lake, good for pontoons and float tubes. While summer fishing can be a challenge in some of the smaller lakes, patience and the right gear can make it worthwhile. Martin recommends smaller lures such as Panther Martins, Mepps or Blue Foxes.

Campbell Lake has several weedy spots where it can pay to watch for insects emerging. If you are fly fishing, Martin suggests shrimp and leech patterns.

lAKe ACCess

Campbell Lake is located northeast of Kimberley. From

Kimberley, head south on Highway 95A about 25 km. Take the High-way 3 / Highway 95 North ramp to Radium, and head north for about 5 km. Take the ramp onto High-way 93, following this towards Radium Hot Springs for about 12 km, past Fort Steele. Campbell Lake is located on the right (east) side of the highway. Note that the lake is not marked as such, but

only marked as

a Rest Area.

Alternately, take Highway 95A north

from Kimberley, and turn right (south) onto

Highway 95/93. Fol-low this highway south

and Campbell Lake will be on your left (east). There is parking available and a day-use area.

High in the McGillivray Mountain Range, Cherry

Lake is home to rainbow and cut-throat trout. This productive little lake is perfect for early summer fishing. Again, when the leaves turn colours and the winds blow cooler, the fishing picks up for the fall, signalling the end of the long, hot summer days.

Some of your best fly options are dry flies. Smaller, pale morning duns, blue wing olives and Tom Thumbs are good choices. At the dropoff on the southwest side, anglers can also take out their nymph patterns. A Prince Nymph, or a Hare’s Ear nymph, cast from the shallows to the depths, is productive.

Cherry Lake is big enough to troll with a small boat. Troll back and forth across the shoals, from deep to shallow and back again. Panther Martins, Blue Spinners and Mepps are good choices.

Access to Cherry Lake is half the fun. There are several

different logging roads and access points. The easiest, however, is from Highway 3 / 93.

Take the Kikomen-Newgate Road over Lake Koocanusa to the Cra-ven Creek FSR. Follow Craven Creek FSR past the Bloom Creek FSR for four kilometres, until you see the turnoff to Cherry Lake. The access road can be challeng-ing and rough. A high clearance vehicle is needed here.

Cherry Lake Rec Site is lo-cated on the eastern shores of Cherry Lake. After the Bailey Bridge over Lake Koocanusa, take the second road to the left (west). Follow the Craven Creek FSR 32.5 km to where the road forks. Take the right fork. Con-tinue on the Craven Creek FSR until the fork at 39 km. Take the right fork until 42 km where the road forks again. Take the right fork and the recreation site is on the left within the first 500 m.

The Rec Site is a small, heavily-treed site at the east end of Cherry Lake, suitable for launching car-top boats and canoes.

and the US border lies a unique stretch of the Columbia River that offers anglers a world-class rainbow trout fishery. This section of the river begins at the bottom of Keenleyside Dam and runs about 40 kilometres to Waneta, at the US border. Other game fish also inhabit this secton of the river, includ-ing burbot, kokanee, walleye and whitefish.There are a number of places to fish from shore, as well as several boat launches (see markers).

Beaver C r e e k Provincial Park is an excellent location to set up camp right along the river. There is a paved single wide boat launch. It is recommend-ed that launching trailer-towed boats should only be attempted by vehicles equipped with four wheel drive. The shoreline is rocky and not recommended for boat mooring to shore.

Duck Lake is a highly pro-ductive waterbody and is

known for fantastic bass fish-ing. The shallow nature of the lake means extensive areas have underwater plants, provid-ing ideal bass habitat.The fishing is good all sea-son; pay special attention to the spawning season. The bass typ-ically spawn in May and June, but remember that from May 15 to June 15, the bass are c a t c h - a n d - release only.A n g l e r s may want to try t h e

north end of the lake. Plastic worms and leeches work well in the summer, as do Top Water Poppers and Buzz Baits. For flyfishers, leech patterns or a mouse imitation are popular patterns.Only non-motorized boats are permitted on the lake. Please note that permits are required for fishing on all waters within the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area, including Duck Lake. For details on acquiring a permit visit www.crestonwildlife.ca or call 250-402-6900.

Please consult the B.C. Freshwater Fishing

Regulations for quotas.

elKRiveR


The Elk River watershed is located in the southeastern

corner of British Columbia, and is nestled among the spectacular scenery of the Rocky Mountains. The river runs through the towns of Elkford, Sparwood, Fernie, and empties into Lake Koocanusa. The eastern portion of the watershed forms the border between Alberta and British Columbia.The headwaters of this river begin at Elk Lake Provincial Park, located at the northern extent of the water-shed. Highway three runs along Elk River between and Sparwood and Elko, providing many good access points to the river. North of Sparwood is Highway 43, which runs along the river to the town of Elkford. Beyond Elkford is a log-ging road that takes you along the river, to the entrance of Elk Lakes Provincial Park.Elk River is the region’s best known river and has gained a ‘must fish’ reputation with many anglers. There are cutthroat trout ranging in size from 14 to 22 inches, and bull trout from 18 to 30 inches. When the season opens on June 15, the river is often a little muddy, but with persistence and maybe a few bright streamers the fishing can still be rewarding. Zonkers and Bow River Buggers are two of the best and cutthroat respond well to them.

The Stone fly hatch on the Elk is truly hit and miss. One day it can be excellent with even the big boys coming up only to have the next day quiet. If you plan on fish-ing this time of year, be sure to use Stimulators and Madame Xs or anything else large. Even in the early sea-son murky water, the trout will pounce the surface.After mid-July, you can count on the water being clear and fast. If you are fishing nymphs, a strike indicator and a heavy weight is the ticket. Almost any nymph with a bead will catch fish but some may be better than others. Large brown and golden stones work in the spring, while Princes, Hare’s Ears and Pheasant Tail nymphs line most of the guides’ boxes all season.

The cutthroat truly are kind to the dry fly fisher all summer long on the Elk. An old beat up Royal Coachman will allow even the newest fishers a great day. Caddis hatches occur off and on primarily at

night with Mayflies hatch-ing almost every day.

Many locals swear by the traditional patterns but many successful fishers are catching more trout on new innovative patterns.

Chernobyl Ants, Turks Tarantulas, Foam Spiders and just about anything else, all have their time and place on the Elk. With increased

pressure every year, the trout seem to have wised up to the patterns

they took in the past. If you are more of a tradition-alist, do not worry, Elk Hair Caddis, Adams and Stimulators prob-ably still work the best.As the trees start turning

and the crowds disperse, those

familiar Blue Winged Olives start to work the surface. Similar to the Crowsnest, these tiny Mayflies (16-22) cause the trout to ignore their surroundings and begin the heavy feeding required for the long winter. Wading is easy this time of year and the temperature is often just right. Small Mayfly nymphs and emergers should work before and after they break free to the air. Tiny Pheasant Tails work well weighted, and with a dab of floatant, they can also imitate the emerger. The CDC blue-winged olive and small Adams fool secure the old wise trout at this time of year. Usually the largest fish of the season are hooked in the fall.Remember to check the B.C. Freshwater Fishing Regulations before heading out. The Elk River is a Class II water when open and other restrictions exist.

hahas laKe

Hahas Lake is designated one of the region’s family

fishing waters. These lakes are so-named because they offer convenient access and good op-portunities to fish from shore. At different times, Hahas Lake has been stocked with various siz-es of

Blackwater and Pennask strains of rainbow trout, from fry to adult and catchable-sized. Hahas Lake is not overly deep, suit-ing the feeding and forag-i n g

behaviour of the more shal-

low-water Black-water strain.

While shore-fishing is possible, Hahas Lake is

probably best fished with a small boat or tube. The shores

of Hahas Lake are sand, and in places it can be more difficult to access deeper water from the shore. If you do not have a boat, your best shore fishing locations are along the east and west sides.Randy Martin from Mountain Man Outdoors says that many different fly patterns will work, “though it’s not really a chirono-mid lake.” Instead, he suggests that anglers try shrimp or scud patterns, small leeches or half-backs.Small gear should work well in Hahas Lake, Martin notes. Small spinners, Panther Martins

or Mepps are good choices for gear

fishers.

lAKe ACCess

Hahas Lake is located northeast of Kimber-

ley. From Highway 95A, turn west onto Lost Dog

Forest Service Road. Approxi-mately 3 kilometres in from the highway, there is a road on the left hand side where Hahas Lake is located. There is another small lake just to the north of Hahas called Solar Lake.Accommodations are available in and around Kimberley, rang-ing from campsites to hotels. There is also a cabin available to rent on the north side of the lake, and several bed and breakfast options.

Kootenay laKe (West aRM)

Fishing in the Nelson area can be a little easier than fishing

the other arms of Kootenay Lake. The West Arm, from Balfour to Nelson, offers areas where shore fishing is possible, and its smaller size makes it a little easier to ex-plore this section. Kerry Reed, of Reel Fishing Ad-ventures, notes that fishing on the West Arm can be a lot different than the other sections of Koote-nay Lake.“With a few openings during the season for Kokanee, it is a popular fishery in the spring,” he says.Reed is enthusiastic about the different opportu-nities through-out the y e a r .

T h e r e is “great

f l y - f i s h i n g throughout the

summer months and some fantastic bull trout

fishing throughout the winter months.”

“It is a lot shallower than the main body of Kootenay Lake and

is almost river-like in some areas. Depending on water levels, the cur-rents will change throughout the year,” Reed cautions.

He also reminds readers to routinely check the regulations for Kootenay Lake for in-season changes. The West Arm is a separate fishery from the main stem of the lake.Kerry Reed is available to help you make the most of your trip to Kootenay Lake. Contact him at:Reel Adventures Fishing ChartersNelson B.C250-505-4963reeladventuresfishing.com

Reed posts regular updates, tips and reports on the Angler’s Atlas website! Check out his comments at www.anglersatlas.com/lake/139700.Accommodation options are plen-tiful in this area. Along the south side, Sunshine Bay Regional Park has a sandy beach and a boat launch. Balfour, located at the en-trance to the West Arm, also has a boat launch and ferry services to the south side of the lake. There are also shore fishing options in and around Balfour.

The town of Nelson offers several accommodation options, from rustic camp-

s i tes to hotels.

West Arm Pro-vincial Park and Kokan-

ee Creek Provincial Park are two of the parks along the West Arm. West Arm Provincial Park is largely undeveloped, although there is walk-in wilderness camp-ing available and picnic tables at beach areas. Campers are expect-ed to be fully self-sufficient here. Kokanee Creek Provincial Park, on the other hand, is a popular tourist destination, providing san-dy beaches and two campgrounds.Visit the Chamber of Commerce website at www.discovernelson.com for more information.

Kootenay laKe (noRth)

Kootenay Lake is long, large and deep, one of the largest lakes in

the province. At over 100 kilometres long and more than 300 feet deep, Kootenay Lake offers fabulous fish-ing in a stunning setting, with many more aquatic and land activities to round out your trip there.

Kerry Reed, local guide and owner of Reel Adventures Fishing Charters, knows and loves Kootenay Lake, and shares his knowledge with our readers:Fishing on Beautiful Kootenay Lake(by Reel Adventures Fishing Charters)

The North arm of Kootenay Lake extends from Balfour up to the very end of the lake at Argenta. The deep-est area is around 450’ and shallow-ing off in the far north to around 300’.

Fishing can be very good on the North arm of the lake, especially in the spring, although these fish are constantly moving, so you never know.

Gerrard Rainbows up to 35 Lbs have been caught in Kootenay Lake, which keeps anglers from all over the world coming back for that chance of a fish of a lifetime. More com-mon are Rainbows between 5 lbs. – 15 lbs. Also, Bull Trout have been caught up to 29 lbs., with the average Bulls ranging between 5 lbs. – 12 lbs.

Favourite lures vary with the weather conditions and time of year. When fishing the far North arm, I prefer

using plugs or Apex lures. Bull Trout seem to be more abundant in the North arm and they seem to prefer these lures. As for Rainbows, our favorites are bucktail flies on the surface when it is breezy. Or plugs and Apex lures when it is calmer.

Also, Kokanee salmon are a popular fish for eating. While not the biggest in size, they are definitely the best for eating. Trolling with small gang trolls and small spinners seem to work best for these tasty treats.

Please note there are new regulations for kokanee on Kootenay Lake. No fishing for kokanee on the main body (see page 34).

Along with the Recreation Sites noted on the map, there are sev-eral other campsites and creeks. Schroeder Creek, Lost Ledge, Davis Creek, Fry Point and

Campbell Bay are just a few of the others worth noting. Please visit local tourism informa-tion centres to get directions and information.

Quick Facts


Fishing the South arm (or main stem, as it is also known), can be

similar to the North.

Kerry Reed, of Reel Fishing Adventures, says, “there seems to be more of a mix of Rainbows and Bull trout throughout this middle section of the lake. Again, the same techniques for fishing can be applied as in the North.”

He continues, “remember the rule of thumb for colors: Dark colors on dark days and light colors on light days. This will help increase some odds. But then again, sometimes there is no rhyme or reason. So you just need to be out there.”

Reed notes that trolling speed is also an important factor, and it depends on the weather and the season. “Spring and fall water tempera-tures seem to bring more aggressive fish. So a faster troll can be good. However, in the heat of the summer or the dead cold of winter, slower trolling seems to produce more. You just have to experiment.”

Reed reminds anglers that as in the North arm, Kokanee salmon are found throughout the lake however they cannot be fished in the main body due to new regulations (see page 34).

The B.C. Camping and Rv Coalition lists several camping options on its website: www.camping.bc.ca/kootenay_rockies/Kootenay_lake_camping_listings.aspx

Drewry Point Provincial Park lies along the western shore of Kootenay Lake. The small, three-site, user-maintained park is accessible only by boat. Located 36 km south of Balfour, this park provides protected moorage in both the north and south bays, making it easy to get out of the wind.

Kootenay Lake Provincial Park has several dif-ferent sites along the west shores of Kootenay Lake. Each site has its own unique amenities. Check the B.C. Parks website for more information.

B.C. Parks notes that Pilot Bay Provincial Park, on the eastern shores of Kootenay Lake, is the safest harbour on Kootenay Lake.

Here, boaters often take shelter during summer storms when they are caught on the lake. As a bonus, some of the best fish-ing for trophy trout is nearby. Primarily marine accessed, the

park can be reached by road.

Lockhart Beach Provincial Park is the easiest park on the south arm to access, providing 18 sites and basic amenities.

Along with provincial parks, there are sev-eral recreation

sites along the north portion of

Kootenay Lake. Garland Bay, Bernard Beaches, Pebble Beach and Fletcher Creek are all offer camping and pit toilets. Some of these sites charge fees.

Please keep in mind that many sites are first come, first served, and can be very busy, par-ticularly in the summer.

Mitten laKe

Mitten Lake is popular with waterskiers, swim-

mers and anglers. Although not that large, Mitten Lake’s scenery, easy accessibility, and great fishing make it a very busy place, indeed.Stocked with the Gerrard strain of rainbow trout, which grow to large sizes, Mitten Lake is best fished in the deeper sec-tions. Gerrards usually prefer to stay deeper than most other strains of rainbows and are

more likely to be

holding at the depths than in the shallows. Generally, and especially for Gerrards, your flies and lures should be imitating small bait-fish. These highly piscivorous creatures prefer to feed on fry, and will more often take to these. Greens and browns are good colour choices for Mitten Lake.Head out from the boat launch on the eastern side right where the bay comes around. Try trolling back and forth across

the depths,

rather than along the shoals.

Mitten Lake is close to Parson, which is be-

tween Golden and Invermere on Highway 95. From Parson, turn south onto Mitten Lake Road and follow for about 14 km. The road is 2WD accessible, though it can be rough in places.Mitten Lake is easily acces-sible and very busy. Amenities include a dock, a boat launch, wheelchair-accessible toilets and a beach.

North Star Lake is an-

other in a series of popular lakes in the south-eastern Koo-tenay region. As is typical of many other regional lakes, North Star has extensive shoal areas around the shore.North Star Lake has been stocked with several strains of rainbow trout, and most recently with the Blackwater strain. These fight-ing lunkers can grow to very large sizes in North Star Lake, perhaps because of the abundant food in this rich aquatic environ-ment. Blackwater trout are mid- to shallow-water foragers and pre-fer to feed more often during the day. They are well-suited to North Star Lake, as the deeper sections here are confined to the middle and west areas. The rest of this lake tends to be muddy in places, and shore fishing is dif-ficult here.Gear fishers will find their best success with Kwikfish, Gang Trolls and spoons. Nymphs, molluscs and snails are the food of choice early in the spring. As the water warms, going deep is your best bet, even in the morn-

ings a n d e v e -n i n g s , though oc-casionally these trout will venture closer to the sur-face to feed.Because North Star Lake is at a relatively low elevation, fly fish-ers can start with chironomids as early as mid April.The lake is very clear, and there are some great hatches that can make for great dry fly fishing. Leeches, mayfly nymphs and damselflies can all be useful pat-terns for North Star Lake.

Peckhams Lake, together with its neighbour to the

south, are formally known as Norbury Lakes. Peckhams Lake is a great little spot just east of Cranbrook. It is home to a thriving trout fishery. This popular lake is one of two in Norbury Lake Provincial Park.

While many lakes in the C r a n b r o o k area are not known for their chi-r o n o m i d f i s h i n g , Peckhams Lake is an excep t ion , with good chi-ronomid fishing starting in April and continuing into June.

Lure fishers can try a vari-ety of gear from Kwikfish to small spoons. As various types of rainbow trout have been stocked here, trout may be found at varying water depths at various times in the season.

Peckhams Lake suffers through the summer doldrums. As well, the fishing pressure increases as the season progresses.

At these times, it is important to get down deep. Fast-sinking lines and weighted gear will help. When possible, fish in the early mornings and later in the evenings for best success. As the fall moves in and the wa-ter cools, chironomid fishing is once again a good method.

Shrimp and leeches are also popular fall patterns here.

Just to the south of Peck-hams, Norbury Lake

also supports a good rainbow

fishery, as well as

a

thriving cutthroat fishery. The best times for Norbury Lake are also in the spring and fall. This lake is stocked with rainbow trout from both the Gerrard and Fraser Valley strains, including catchable - sized.

Peckhams Lake is just east of Cranbrook. Follow

Highway 3/93 to Fort Steele and turn east onto the Wardner-Fort Steele Road. Follow this for about 16 km. Just past the junction with Fenwick Road is Peckhams Lake.

The park has a large campsite with 46 sites located at Norbury Lake to the south of Peckhams. Both lakes have water, pit toi-lets, and small boat launches.

Motorized boats are not al-lowed.

Premier Lake lies against the western edge of the Rocky

Mountains, and its emerald green waters are a favorite destination for many travellers through the Kootenays. Premier Lake is heav-ily stocked with rainbow trout. In 2014, over 55,000 trout were released into the lake.Angler’s Atlas field staff member Ian stewart writes that out of a dozen lakes, “the most consistent fishing [is] on Premier Lake, one of the larger lakes in the area. In the end of April and beginning of May, this lake developed a reputation for some good early-season action for rainbow and brook trout. Most of the fish are taken using small flies that imitate the abundant chironomids, which hatch at this time. The flies are fished static on very long leaders (20 to 25 feet), either on a small float (called a strike indicator by fly fishermen) or on the leader alone with a very slow retrieve.“The fishing was good for two of three days on nearby Quartz Lake, a smaller lake with fish averag-ing much larger in size but not as numerous.“We

also fished Solar, Larchwood and Echo lakes, which are all within an hour’s drive of Cranbrook, with some limited success (except at Solar, where we were skunked!)”Visit www.anglersatlas.com/lake/101051 for Stewart’s report. There is a provincial park at the southern end of the lake, which includes hiking trails leading to several smaller lakes also stocked with trout. They are Turtle, Canuck Yankee, and Cats Eye Lakes, and are between 20 to 45 minutes from the campground.The provincial park has 57 camp-sites, ten of which can be reserved. There is a concrete boat launch located past the day use area. There are special restrictions on Premier Lake. A southern closure between May 15 and June 20 is in effect, although the rest of the lake is still open. A speed restriction is in place for the southern half of the lake, w h e r e n o

towing/water skiing is allowed.lAKe ACCess

RocKbluff laKe

Rockbluff Lake is one of the best fishing lakes in

the Kootenays, with scenery to match. The ice comes off this lake a little later than some others, and the trout are hun-gry and ready for action.Rockbluff Lake is long and deep in some places, though most of its water is in the mid-depth range. The Pennask rainbow trout that are stocked here are fighters and known for their jump. They also pre-fer deep water and are most active in the evening. Just after iceoff, try chirono-mids if you are fly fishing. It is well worth learning to fish these patterns properly and effectively, as chironomids make up a very large part of the diet of most trout in the province. Try the areas around the island in the south, and right around the middle-east-ern side of the lake.Another tip for fly fishers is to move from wet flies at the beginning of a hatch to dry flies as the hatch progresses.Kwikfish, Lake Trolls and Hildebrandt spoons can be v e r y

effective here. Good colours to try are blue and silver or green and silver combinations.

lAKe ACCess

From Cranbrook, travel 72 km north along Highway

93/95 to a paved road on the right (east) leading to the park. Keep going past the park; it is a short drive to Rockbluff Lake. There is a parking area at the south end of the lake and an outhouse.Camping is available at Premier Lake Provincial Park, with 57 campsites, a play-ground, water pumps, a boat launch and pit toilets.Along with the provincial park, there are several other accommodation options. Springbrook Resort is locat-ed south of Premier Lake at Skookumchuck, along the Kootenay River. It offers trav-ellers all types of accomoda-tions, from motel to self con-tained cabins, seasonal RV to overnight tenting.

Upper Arrow Lake and its counterpart, Lower Arrow

Lake, are reservoirs formed from a dam on the Columbia River at Castlegar. Water levels fluctuate, sometimes significantly. Never-theless, there is still great fishing to be had. Like many lakes in the Kootenays, Upper Arrow Lake is stocked with the Gerrard strain of rainbow trout. Local fishing guide Kerry Reed, owner of Reel Adventures Fish-ing Charters, says that fall and winter are his favourite times to fish Upper Arrow Lake.“Early in the fall, we can catch bull trout and rainbows on the downrigger at depths between 50 - 100ft. Although as the wa-ter temperature drops to the magic number, we will start catching more and more on the surface,” Reed notes.For bull trout, Reed says, “my favorite lures of choice are Apex lures, Lyman plugs, and a flasher/hoochie combo, from the surface down to 100ft.”Darker colours such as shades of purple can work well in the win-ter. Try varying your speed ac-cording to the weather. In warmer weather, try trolling at a speed just a little faster than you would in the winter.“The magic temperature for the

bigger fish seems to be around the 50 degree mark. As it gets colder t h r o u g h -out the winter, make sure to slow down your presentation, as these fish seem to slow down also,” Reed suggests.Please bear in mind that Upper Arrow Lake is subject to several differ-ent regulations and exemp-tions. Please be familiar with the B.C. Freshwater Fishing Regu-lations before heading out.Kerry Reed is available to help you make the most of your trip to Kootenay Lake.

WhitesWan laKe

Whiteswan Lake, in southeast-ern British Columbia, is a

beautiful lake surrounded by high, craggy mountain peaks. One of two amazing lakes in Whiteswan Lake Provincial Park, Whiteswan Lake offers excellent fishing for rainbow trout.

K e l l y laatsch at st. Mary

Angler fly shop (www.stmary-angler.com) in Cranbrook reports:

Whiteswan Lake has come alive and is producing lots of rainbows!

The weather was not as good as we would have preferred, but hey, when you have a day off you need to take advantage of it! It was overcast with a little rain now and then, with temperatures reaching highs of 60°F (16°C). But when you are dressed for the weather with proper rain-gear and warm clothes you can easily handle a day like today… so remember to “be prepared”.

As has been the case so far this spring, we again decided to chi-ronomid fish. We casted out the chironomid rigs and let them sink

slowly down into the water col-umn. The retrieve was a slow and deliberate with 3 pulls then a stop, then repeated again and again until retrieval was complete.

We had heard about a sizable fly-ing ant hatch the previ-ous Thursday on Whiteswan,

so we were wary the fish might have already gorged themselves and would be resting and digesting. However, we were fortunate that they were starting to eat again. Between the two of us, we caught more than 20 rainbows and they all looked very healthy and strong.

The biggest catch of the day was a robust 21-inch rainbow that fought well and jumped many times. This fish did not like being hooked up and had plenty of energy to fight hard until he finally gave up. It was fun to have a big fish pull on the line like that!

The dominant hatch of the day was a smallish chironomid hatch in the afternoon. The flying ants were not very evident today, so the black, red and green chironomids all

worked quite well.

We also had success with the micro–leech, as well as some ant patterns.

See Laatsch’s full report on the Whiteswan Lake page at www.anglersatlas.com/lake/101600.

Whiteswan Lake is locat-ed in Whiteswan Lake

Whitetail laKe

Whitetail Lake is a popu-lar fishing spot, main-

ly for trophy Gerrard rain-bow trout. Whitetail Lake is stocked, with 12,000 rain-bow trout released in 2014. It is a popular family lake, great for a weekend getaway.Along with rainbow trout, Whitetail Lake supports a good population of brook trout. Try an Elkwing Caddis when targetting the brook trout. Pay particular attention to the weedy areas.When going after the trophy Gerrard rainbow trout, chi-ronomids are often a good standard choice. Anglers can also try a Gray Beard nymph or a caddis. Lure fishers may want to try a size 6 or 7 Kwikfish. Choose a colour that is closest to what is in the lake. Greens are good choices for Whitetail Lake.Please check the B.C. Freshwater Fishing Regulations for information about Whitetail Lake before heading out. There are gear restrictions in place, as well as a quota in effect. Also note that the inlet and out-

let streams for W h i t e t a i l Lake are closed to fishing all year.Stop by any of the local tackle shops in Cranbrook or Kimberley to find out the latest reports on this lake.

lAKe ACCess

Whitetail Lake is locat-ed north of Canal

Flats. From Canal Flats, head north for about 4 kilome-tres on Highway 93/95. Turn west onto the Findlay Creek Forest Service Road. Follow the signs to the Blue Lake Forestry Camp along the Findlay FSR and the Deer Lake FSR. Do not turn off to Blue Lake at the 23.5 km mark. Stay right at the 25.5 mark and take another right turn to the Whitetail Lake Recreation Site. This road is passable with trailers and 2WD, though it may be quite bumpy in sections.

The Forest Service Recreation Site offers space for 32 vehicles.

Most sites are shaded and offer good access to the lake. This is a popular site that is busy on week-

ends. Please note that the second group of sites does not have a turnaround area for trailers.

WilbuR laKe

Wilbur Lake is a small lake west of Highway 95 and

north of Mitten Lake. This rela-tively shallow lake is a high ele-vation body of water, set among a series of great fishing lakes.

Wilbur Lake is stocked with Pennask rainbow trout by the Freshwater Fisheries society of B.C. These are feisty, fight-ing fish, feeding heavily on chi-ronomids. They tend to be most active in the evening, and prefer the mid-level w a t e r s f o r for-

aging.

Going after these trout, chi-ronomids are a great place to start if you are fly fishing. Rick passek, author and instructor, notes that chironomid fishing, when done properly, can be highly rewarding and exciting.

It is definitely worthwhile to take the time to learn chirono-mid fishing, and how it differs from other fly

fishing patterns.

Several different lures can work here. Spinners and spoons are good to try, and plugs seem to do really well in landing trout.

Please consult the B.C. Freshwater Fishing Regulations for restrictions. Wilbur Lake is closed to ice fishing and there is a limit of one trout for this lake.

lAKe ACCess

Wilbur Lake is located west of

Parson. There are sev-eral logging roads in the area, and your best bet is to consult a good road map for

these roads. From Parson, follow the Crestbrook Main Road south-west. Stay on this road past the Spillimacheen North FSR and the turn off to Wilbur Lake will be on your right. There

is a small recreation site at Wilbur Lake, with pit

toilets and a small boat launch.

WinDeRMeRe laKe

Windermere Lake is one of the most popular lakes

in all of southeastern British Columbia, and for good reason. The recreational opportunities are endless and the fishing is fabulous.

Like some other lakes in the southern part of the province, Windermere Lake is known as a bass fishing hotspot.

Brian McKenzie from home hardware says that Windermere Lake is fairly consistent all year round. Ice fishing for bass is a popular winter activity among locals, and although it is rela-tively shallow, the fishing can be good even in the heat of the summer.

Rylan Kashuba from Reel Axe Adventures says that bass will bite on spinner baits, crank baits, rubber frogs and rubber worms. Chartreuse is a good colour for the frogs. If you are using min-now lures, a rainbow trout colour is a good choice.

Frogs can be fished in a number of ways, from skimming along the surface to imitating a hopping action among the weeds. Try to keep the action as realistic as possible, but do not be afraid to experiment with your technique.

Kashuba advises to look for bass in cover spots like lily pads and reeds, or in deep holes if it is hot out.

Anglers targetting the lake’s rainbow trout may want to try shiny, fast-moving lures, says Kashuba. He trolls the lake, and suggests sticking to the north east side. “Early morning is the best time before all the speed boats get out there,” Kashuba advises.
