| Fishing Report
for March 19th 2010
As per usual, February and March have been producing lots of fat Bull
Trout. Been a few nice Gerrards coming in as well.
Went up to the north end of the lake, and had a great time up the Arm
on a couple of trips. Lots of action, and both trips landed at least one
fish over 12lbs. The old standbys were working the best. # 32 Lyman plug
in 4 inch model got us the big guy at 16 lbs. This was one old fish, and
the boys were nice enough to take a picture and let him go. A couple of
20 lbers have also been caught down in the narrows.
The fish are extremely fat and healthy looking, which shows well for the
health of a lake, and the amount of feed that is there. Hill Creek hatchery
had a record Kokanee run this year, so all looks good for a few years
to come.
I'll be heading over to Kootenay Lake about the 20th of April, and will
be fishing there for the spring fishery. Talked to Jason and the boys
over in Kaslo, and they are doing very well, so I'm looking forward to
getting over there soon. Water temp is already 40 degrees.
The snow has disappeared, and the days are warming up, so time to start
planning a great spring trip for big Gerrards.
Only 3 months till salmon and halibut fishing on the west coast of Vancouver
Island starts. Looking forward to that as well. Last year was just awesome
fishing, and fisheries is calling for even more fish this year. The Columbia
River run alone is expecting 500 000 fish, and they all have to swim past
Big Bank to get home.
Hope to see you soon.
Tight Lines ...
