Northern BC & Yukon

I’ve gone back to northern British Columbia at the lodge on Muncho Lake…Northern Rockies Adventures. Spent the night in Vancouver last Saturday, then headed to Pitt Meadows regional airport to take a twin prop plane to Fort Nelson…unloaded the plane and transported by van for the 2.5 hour road trip to Muncho Lake.



Saw this same plane in the hangar last year when I came


This adventurous dude came from Barrow AK and stopped in Fort Nelson to refuel…its a single seater, he is on his way to NY…AV fuel is costing him $100 an hour of flying…

The view from my lakeside cabin…its quite nice…

I head out today by float plane to a remote lake to fish a connecting stream for rainbows, then I will be dropped off at a remote outpost cabin on a lake with a creek coming into it…they will be providing me with a small skiff & 3hp motor…lake has grayling, bull & lake trout in it…I will be here by my lonesome for two nights, possibly three (weather dependent)…it has been raining and thunder storms since I got here

Road trip anyone? Can't wait to start doing these trips in my van. This summer is pretty packed already - maybe next year.

 

[Mike Ediger]

Oh man, I can't wait for more reports. And that picture of the mountain range is incredible.

Northern Rockies Adventures…

Flying between the mountain tops, we pass over several beautiful valleys…

 

[Brute]

Our first destination was this beautiful small connector stream between two lakes…it was full of rainbows…spent the morning & afternoon hooking and releasing 27 rainbows practically all the same size between 14”-17”, including this one with talon marks in her side & back…a lot of fun on the 4wt

 

[Brute]

As we approached Netson Lake, where I was to be dropped off at the outpost cabin, we flew over a cow moose in the shallows…

 

[Brute]

Not just one…but two shitters…
This was to be my home for the next two days

 

[Brute]

Cabin had everything one needed…outdoor grill, wood burning stove, two burner propane stovetop

 

[SculpinSwinger]

I see your traveling by “big otter”!

 

[Brute]

After grilling a quick steak dinner, i headed to where a creek emptied into the lake near the cabin…caught a few grayling on the 4wt, then threw on a streamer on the 6wt and caught three lake trout

 

[Brute]

It doesn’t get dark here until 10:30 pm…nice ending to the first day…

 

[Brute]

Next morning, it was low 40’s…fired up the heater and made a pot of lake coffee…

 

[Brute]

Headed out to the far end of the lake where the outflow is…decided to troll a streamer for a section by the drip off near the bank for lake trout…i was surprised this little guy hit it…

 

[Brute]

When I got to the end of the lake, the wind had died and it was mirror calm…and there were rising fish everywhere. I cut the motor and drifted, throwing ants of every color on the 4wt…for the next two hours, i may have caught 50…they ate anything that landed on the surface

Thanks for taking us along. I'm jealous, I wanna catch a long finned whitefish.
