I fished it for the first time back in April. Caught 17 the first day and 8 the second. Only 1 brown and the biggest fish was a 20" rainbow. I don't have any "good old days" to compare it too, but I enjoyed my time on that lake.

Costa Rica. I can't wait to do that again.

I've never noticed issues with snagging due to a 2nd fly. My experience has been that a lot of the BC guys that haven't fished other places are very against two flies, but those that fish outside BC would love to bring the 2-fly option to BC. Alberta is the opposite of BC...you can only fish...

None of the above for me. I tried tying to the hook bend for a few weeks once, but I noticed a big increase in the number of takedowns that didn't result in hookups. Option A (preferred): Leave an ~8" tag off of a surgeon's knot about 3-4' above my point fly...dropper gets tied to that...

The one I was doing well that day with was the “green eggs & ham” variation (bottom fly). I’m not sure it matters, but I always experiment with different colors…they all seem to catch fish…I prefer to use natural flies, but sometimes the attractors are the only thing that works. They also...

I was planning on a backpacking trip this week, but when I saw the favorable weather on Hwy 24 in BC I decided to ditch the holiday weekend crowds here and head further north with my boat and float tube. I left early Wednesday morning and arrived at Lost Horse Lake Rec Site in the Meadow Lake...

That will be just fine. You can get to camp no problem...you can even get to camp in a sedan now if you take it slow. There are some rougher roads to some of the outer lakes, but Rob and Tammy will give you pointers on how to get to the trailheads without risking damage to your vehicle and...

September up there is great. Best thing about September is no mosquitos! Be prepared for unpredictable weather...dress for success and you'll be fine. I went up 14-18 September 2019 and 11-19 September 2021 (extra-long trip to "make-up" for COVID cancellations). 2019 was mostly rainy, but...

I have an 11ft Sears jon boat that I use on the lakes that I can drive into. It's beat up, but the fish don't care. It's hard to justify replacing because it's so light I can easily throw it around by myself and it can easily fit 2 adults or me plus my 2 boys. Best $150 I ever spent.

I didn’t even have any Black Pennells in my box until a day or two before. I figured that you were so committed to them for mountain lakes that I should at least tie a few up and give them a try. Needless to say they will be a staple in my box going forward.

The last update I got from Hi-Lakers on the subject was about a year ago...pretty much the same story as the article and it included the point of contact to assist: We need volunteers to help with a very important project at Little Gee Lake north of Darrington in the Finney Creek drainage. This...
