Fishing Report
for Jan 13th 2009
The Rainbow trout fishing on Arrow Lake continues to be very good. Still
good numbers of 12 - 14lb trout coming in. The boys from Revelstoke landed
a 14 lb Rainbow, and the crew from Castlegar landed a 13 lb Trout a few
days later. Lots of 4 - 10 lb Rainbow Trout and Bulls mixed in as well.
I had a couple of slow days last week, with three 6 lb Bull Trout the
first day, and three 6 lb Rainbow Trout on the second day. However, Hank
was out the next day, and got a couple of really nice Gerrards pulling
plugs as well. Unfortunately the trophy fish don't bite everyday, but
when they turn on, look out.
I've stopped pulling hair now for the most part, and have switched to
plugs. Slowing down a bit seems to be making a big difference, as the
water temp is a cool 37 degrees.
I keep trying to catch fish on the downrigger, but the surface lines are
still outproducing. Even the large Bull Trout have been on the top. Usually
by February the downrigger starts producing good numbers of fish.
The Nakusp Rod and Gun Club is having their winter derby in a couple of
weeks. Jan. 24 and 25. It's only $40.00 per boat to enter, and a great
way to beat the long days of winter. So unthaw your boat and come on out.
I've added another boat to the fleet this year. It's a 24 ft. Hourston.
An excellent guide boat, and an excellent "swell buster" for
the ocean. I'm looking forward to the softer ride this summer. More room
as well, so I can take up to 4 people out to Big Bank in comfort.
I'm back out fishing in a couple of days. I'm developing a case of Rainbow
Trout fever again, so another screamer should help me get over this.
Tight Lines ...
