BC Interior Flyfishing Guides - I’d like to share my passion for still water fly-fishing with you. If you’ve fished the lakes of the Cariboo Chilcotin, and the Thompson Nicola, and been disappointed, perhaps you could use my services. My goal is to make your days with me the highlight of your vacation as you experience the thrill of leaping Kamloops Rainbow Trout.

Fishing Report: Rainbows on average are around 2 pounds with 10 pounders occasionally being taken. Nymphing seems to get the attention of these trout although all methods meet with some success. Ice fishing is a very popular winter pastime on this lake.
Be sure to visit Fishbc.com for angling information!

Viewscape: A medium size (4.5km x 1km) lake. surrounded by pine, spruce, fir and some aspen. Gently rolling, forested hills surround the lake, with pine, spruce, some aspen and an abundance of Douglas fir.

Shoreline: A clear lake appearing light to dark brown in color. Weeds are present at the edge and in shallow spots, being of reed, grass and bottom cover type. Grassy shoreline interspersed with alders and water birch near the shore.

Note: Always check your current BC Fishing regulations before you start fishing a new lake.
