I was trying to find some info on the lake, cabin rentals and info rates etc. Web site is weak, years ago I was there and I realize that there has been a lot of developement, was wanting info on renting a cabin rates etc, if you can help out that would be great. Thanks.

Their are no cabins on Peterhope. Some of the owners of the homes on Peterhope rent their places out but thats about it. Other than that just the campground.
-
I think I saw on a web site that a 6 bedroom cabin went for 2500 per week.
-
There's a lodge on Glimpse Lake, just a short drive from Peterhope. I don't know the rates, but Glimpse is pretty fishy and Blue has BIG bruisers that are tough to coax into a bite.

Just rent the cabin at PH for $2500.
It will be cheaper than the dude ranch at Glimpse.
Is sad what they did to the old resort there.
Another old style fishin camp down the tubes.
-
I'd just camp there, lots of nice camping.

dont expect any spectacular fishing at Peterhope AKA Peterhopeless lake. the fish in there are notroiously hard to find and then to catch. You will probably get some of the smaller ones and possible be lucky enough to tangle with a big one that still resides in the lake >:( it has humbled many a very good fisherman out there on that lake

I have never been skunked at Peterhope and I fish it every year. Although I am one of those 'lucky' fishermen ;)
-
have you ever gotten into any of the big ones Brian ?? I know guys that have gotten fish there and then got skunked the next several times, perhaps you have just timed it right each time. Its to big and deep for my liking so i go elsewhere where i can find fish just a large ;)

I know the caretaker so the guess work was taken out right away. He told me what to fish and where to fish. Oh and yes I have caught a few lunkers in there. Lots of 3-4lb fish and the odd big one.
-
okay okay so then you have been cheating :P See i was talking about guys with no "insider" info LOL its all good. You ever get anything over the 10lb mark out of there ?? they are in there.....somewhere.

Nope have not hooked a 10lber. I know they are in there as well but finding them is the tough part. One day One day.....

--I caught a duck there once. Was casting into a reed bed, the duck scooted out along the water, hit the fly line and got the fly in the neck.
--It was released
--For you flyfishers it was a favourite of Jack Shaw's... he seemed to be one of those "lucky" fishers that always caught the bigger ones when others, myself included were getting skunked.
-
If you want BIG fish and you're in that area, go to Blue Lake. A little bit tough to get into and usually a bear around, but the fish are bigger. And tougher to catch as the water is really clear.
-
I fished Peterhope last week and it was extremely slow, I fish it every year a few time s and never struggled like that....ever since the cabins have been built the fishing has gone down hill...it used to be much easier to catch fish there but the last few years have gotton tough....
-
Nova - have you ever fished Blue lake ?? I have been told thats its extremely tough fishing in that lake. I have talked to several that have tried and come up with nothing in many outings and these are very good rods im talking about. It is on my list of to do lakes however im waiting until im a bit more proficient in my lake presentation skills.

Its a VERY tough lake but does have BIG fish!!!

--many of these higher elevation interior lakes are tough/easy depending on when you're on them even in same day so reports of a fish every cast on the same day as others get skunked.
--barometric pressure rapid changes...hatches and moody fish. weather can change from snow to full sun and T-Shirt weather in less than an hour.
--Often what worked an hour ago won't work now.. Paying attention to feeding patterns and changing presentation, depth, size and colour of fly or lure are all part of the fun. also helps to fish with a few buddies to keep dialed in

Have you fished that lake? In the best of conditions you are lucky just to get one or two fish. I keep going back because I know how big those fish are.
-
either that or you just like some punishment BB ;) LOL i havent fished the lake because i dont feel like casting all day for nothing and its a bit bigger of a lake then i like to fish anyways

Blue can hold it's share of frustrations, but the rewards are great. Long, light leaders as the water is really clear. Quiet as possible. Carry an air horn as there's been a bear or two seen over the years - a friend had to stay in his float tube for a few extra hours until a wayward bruin toddled off. The road in is rough, I was told once of a back way in, but I was never able to figure it out. Follow to the right of Glimpse Lake road and look for the blue dots. There is some rough camping there or stay at one of the Glimpse sites. Later in the fall is best.

Should have gone to Glimpse Lake.
It fished decent this weekend amongst the wind and storms.
Beauty lake and great shoals around the whole lake.

I sent a pm with plan B as Glimpse Lake.

Glimpse can be freakin' amazing or just plain suck. I've had 25 fish afternoons there and 5 day trips with 3 people and 2 fish., none mine. :'( :'( :'( But when the bite is on, WoW!
