Has anyone pulled any decent trout ( 3+lbs ) out of Rolley in the last 2 or 3 years ?
-
NO!
-
2+ pounds ?

good luck

Shouldn't get the 'ol hopes up then :-\ ? One of those stockers in the last 4 years must have gotten smarter and fatter than the rest...........................

The coastal lakes are nutrient poor, therefore the triploids will not grow at such a rapid rate compared to stocked fish in the interior lakes even if they are not caught.
-
Well then, can anyone tell me what lakes (if any) in region 2 produce bigger than the average 1lb trout ? I know the answer people will give is "get out there and try some" but to tell you the truth, I have tried 'em all around here and aside from broodstock, the biggest trout I pulled out of lakes around here was from Green Timbers believe it or not ! My experience is limited but my effort is not. Do I need to go to the Sunshine Coast ? Sub -Alpine ? The Hazelmere U - Catch ? :D I just want to have the best shot at catching a beast 8)
-
The key is coastal lakes with lots of limestone there. Thats all you'll get from me.
-
stave lake, allouette lake,foley lake just a few ;)
-
Harrison,Chilliwack,Pitt lakes just to add to the list. The big lakes around here hold some big fish. Also some in the Squamish/Whislter area as well.
-
Thanks for the tips dudes ;D Looks like I will be doing a lot of kicking in those big lakes. :)
-
I'll email u a good lake thats up the sunshine coast and one in pitt meadows
as long as you promise not to tell ;)
-

There are some lunkers in Whonnock lake. Hard to come by though, more of a fluke than anything else when that lake gives up a big Bow. My guess is they are preditors. I have been trying to come up with a pattern for them but have yet to figure them out.
-
How big are we talking about newsman. I pulled a 17 incher out of there before. I have been meaning to give it a try soon.
-
email sent, hope it helps you find some lower mainland lunkers
be sure to tell me,(on email of course) how it goes ;)

I have heard stories of 10lb's but can only sustanstantiate 5lb's. A close freind of my dad's use to catch them and dammed if he wouldn't reveal his secret.
For those who have never fished Whonnock; it is as close as I have seen to an interior lake here in the lower mainland, one huge rolling shoal ranging from 5 to 15 feet, except for one 30 foot hole in the north east quadrant.

Is it nutrient rich like the interior lakes ? I mean lots of 'bugs' and leaches and things ? Ive heard its a murky type lake as well. It also has tons of Crappies in there I've been told. Spoke to a guy at Mike Lake on Wednesday and he said he caught 50 Crappie in a few hours!!! He also said there is a general rule for these lakes : Mike Lake likes 'green', Whonnock likes 'yellow' and Allouette likes 'red'. Can anyone vouch for what he stated ? I can say 'green' for Mike as I started trolling a green nymph and instantly had success but had no success on a grey one.
