If you are going shortly, Thompson is very high, fast and running brown due to spring runoff.

Hey Dan,
The T is blown, I just drove by late last week. Also I think it may be closed check the regs.
It's lake time up there and they are fishing well.

I've had decent luck fishing at Gold Pan, after the freshet, just watch out for the rafters and particularly the kayaks as they have no conception of sharing the waters. I've had them cross right over top of my line and beach practically on top of my toes. If my wife hadn't been there.... >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:( >:(

i agree with Pat, thompson will be far too much work for the reward plus its easier to hold your beer on a lake while fishing, everything is getting good up there. I went to roche last weekend and it was slow with 6 C&R 1 to the Q. It will only get better now!! I cant wait to get back there,

thanks for the info guys. as i will be based is merrit, i have a few days of lake fishing planned as well (your right, much easier to hold the beer). thought i would give the thompson a shot, but i guess i will have to wait for the skagit to open for some good river fishing.

The Thom opened June 1st, but like the guys said it is too high at this point. I have always found a good time to start fishing the Thom is when the lakes turn off due to the heat, usually around the third week of Aug. Since you will be working in Merrit, I suggest starting with the Nicola River. It's a very good starter stream and will be good right after the water clears.
