Some of us are off there in Kamloops on a trip start of June. Does anyone have any intel or top tips they can share?
Thanks,

Salmon lake resort
- Thread starter Dave Boyle
- Start date
Talk to the folks at the store there, they’ll have a good handle on what’s working. If it’s not windy, head to the far end of the lake and fish the shallows down there. If it’s windy tuck in to the back end of the lake. That time of year there will likely be lots of boats around, just follow the general areas that others are in and you will be successful
A wee weekend bump in case anyone else can give some extra intel. Pms are fine and indeed any info given will get a more detailed pm report back.

Thank you

We all have lots of them of sorts, just in the 14 or 16 to 18 sizes. The WA lakes I fish don’t have lots of huge or big mids like BC. That said the shucks and bombers from several lakes I’ve recently fished I WA had big ass mids, easily 12 and likely 10s. I need to think big, especially with one fly re the BC regs.
I have around 1200 mids to choose from re 10-12 to 20, most 14-16. I won’t have the right one but I’ll try

I was into fish right away with rootbeer body, red wire rib, white bead (or gill).We all have lots of them of sorts, just in the 14 or 16 to 18 sizes.

Great combo. I'm kinda new to Cronies but that's a Great combo.
Some will be tied, I like root beers and fish them a lot, I’ll just need to bump the size up a bit and have a few 12 though as Firestick’s, more a 10. It’s a nice problem to have. Just looking forward to some R&R with my friends. Camp will be as much fun as the fishing. Some good dinners are being made.

@Dave Boyle sorry for the thread drift here.
This is Salmon Lake on Douglas Ranch, correct? If so, how far is the drive from Salmon to say Stoney and Minnie? I fished Stoney about 40 years ago before the lodge was built there have been thinking I need to get back up there again in the future.
Thanks for any info you can provide.

You are correct, there’s also a few pay to play lakes which we may also try. One of them had lights out chromie fishing for 3-4 lb fish a few weeks back but we’ll see. There’ll be a rambling report to follow. Just got my job boat home from today, ‘the temperatures rising’ as the song goes but defo not looking to it be raining men
will pack tomorrow and hit the rd at 8 on Monday. A 4.30 ish hr drive. Will be on the loch for the evening…Dave
We are ready to go, helped my buds get ready this am re loading the boat and getting the trailer ready. My truck is now loaded, gassed, and boat on. Only the food to get from the freezer tomorrow. Wondering what I’ll forget, I have a list but shit happens Looking forward to some great fishing, and defo good food and campsite craic.
