And people were giving Robert G such a hard time

The interior towns don't want people coming in from other regions and I hope people will respect that. I'm sure it'll be a gong show regardless this long weekend :/

Cities like Chilliwack have also asked people not to come in from out of town. I've been respecting that, and I hope others will too. I'm sure it'll be a gong show regardless this long weekend :/

You mentioning RobertG gives me a sense of deja vu  :P

I'm not sure why people are giving Rod a hard time here? His truck can easily go to Merritt and back on a single fill up. How exactly is he putting anyone at risk by sitting on a lake in his boat? IMO people are way out of control with the shaming and paranoia when it comes to this. Use some common sense and everything is fine. If you're terrified to leave your house, that's your issue, but I can guarantee that going to the grocery store is a hell of a lot more dangerous than going to a lake for the day.

I can assure you the fish fight very well there and that day trips can be done very easily without visiting the interior towns.   

Pack water, breakfast, lunch and dinner the night before.  Make your coffee at home. A full tank in Hope gets you back so bring hand sanitizer and use it before and after touching the self serve gas hose to protect yourself and others in case you'e asymptomatic.

Use common sense not common irrational fears.

there's the buzzer or the gong.

These fears are not irriational nor do they lack common sense. Common sense is neither common nor sense and the virus cares about neither.

I was up fishing in the interior this weekend. Tonnes of people fishing. Lots camping too.
Some lakes were busy. Others were not as busy, but none were empty.
People were camping all up and down the Coq. Kane Valley was busy. The 5A was full of campers and people towing boats.
It was good to see people getting out and enjoying life instead of staying home and panicking about the plandemic.

 Dr Bonnie Henry and B.C government has advised B.C residents to avoid all non-essential travel. I’m staying local for now. I feel it’s the right thing to do for our at risk elderly population and over worked health care workers fighting this pandemic on the front lines. I have the rest of my life to fish non local when this pandemic is over. Just my personal opinion. Stay safe everyone.

There was an article a while back about how important it is to see photos of the sick and the dying to be able to fully grasp the reality of the situation.

"Many do not have these mental images. [...] For society to respond in ways commensurate with the importance of this pandemic, we have to see it. For us to be transformed by it, it has to penetrate our hearts as well as our minds."

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/01/opinion/coronavirus-photography.html

I think seeing these photos would change many peoples' attitudes and make them less cavalier about it. The father of a family friend is at RCH now on life support and it doesn't appear that he'll ever be able to breathe on his own again. He had Covid a couple of weeks ago, which led to complications, followed by an induced coma to stabilize him. He's free of the virus now but his brain and lungs have been so damaged that his outlook is grim. I hear these stories from people we know and I worry about my own elderly relatives.

I just wish that people would treat this issue as a matter of public health, rather than a political wedge or a way to trigger the snowflakes online.

Do you know what 'sensationalism' is? If you don't, I'll give you a hint. Your post is 'sensationalism'. The NY Times is famous for 'sensationalism'.
You want to talk about 'images'?

Have you ever walked into a bunker where they find a dozen or more preteens between trafficked for prostitution?
Have you ever been at the scene of a horrific car accident when they scrape children's body parts off the sidewalk?
Have you ever walked into a homicide scene at someone's home where a family has their brains splattered all over the wall from being executed point blank by gang violence?

Covid-19 doesn't even touch those examples....and really….Covid 19 is just another virus that has a very small chance of killing us. We all die in one way or another. There is nothing about a Covid-19 death that makes it different from other types of death in that we should be paranoid or to let ourselves become engulfed in the media's sensationalism.
You and I will both die...one way or another... Death is a reality that isn't going anywhere anytime soon.

I wonder if that could be a blackwater? It's not unusual for blackwaters to get dark, even triploids. Though the FFSBC still seems to stock diploid BW's in a bunch of lakes so who knows...

When the fish getting older, they become dark regardless triploids. You don't know which means you haven't caught these smart fish. They grow bigger not because being stupid.

I am ok with Rodney fishing. He fishes for business not for pleasure. It is essential for him to bring income for his family. no question about it.

This is a 4 year old Blackwater triploid. I don't know why they become "colourful" like that. Some say it's due to the tan coloured water of the lake. we've encountered other Blackwaters with similar colourations over the last few years.

Here's one from last year.

As was mentioned in the thread about Rod's coastal cutthroat video, many species and strains of trout seem to darken with age. Browns will darken and develop pronounced kypes. Many sub-species of rainbows also darken. Larger redband rainbows seen to be permanently in their spawning colors. I don't known much about blackwaters having never caught many.

I'm too lazy to post a photo but in July 2017, I bonked a 3lb-ish bow that was really colourful out of a lake near Merritt. The stripe ran down the entire body from eye to tail and was a dark red and its belly was orange and red. Despite the spawning colours, the fish tasted like any other stillwater rainbow (possibly better). That fish probably had spawned recently because the only fish put into the lake are diploid blackwaters and the lake likely has wild spawning fish.

The colour of the meat doesn't change just because a trout is gorging on Chroni's for God's sake  ;D.

Freshwater shrimp is the mainstay of a trout's diet throughout the year as are Chironomids/Bloodworms. Yes, certain times of the year they feed heavily on what's available at the time but scuds are on the menu year round, hence the colour of flesh will be orange/red.

I know forgot to put the wink on.

Many people say the Fv don't fight as well as Pennasks are other strains. I find them pretty good fighters especially bigger ones ( but you could say that about any trout). I  think part of the reason is that Fv's do better in low oxy lakes  like Kidd or Morgan....

What is your experience with quality of fight from them?
Title: Re: 2020 Interior Lake Fishing Season
Post by: Rodney on May 21, 2020, 04:22:00 PM
The fight of a Pennask is very visual so that's pretty exciting.

This past week we targeted big FV, and that was a different excitement. Having them hunkering down at 30ft and just wouldn't budge was pretty fun.

Robert,

Most lakes I fish have at least some scuds or shrimp of some sort in them.
One of the first things I do when I get to a lake it move some rocks around near the shore in about 6 inches of water. There are usually some scuds zooming around.

FV rainbows are a purely domestic strain. I think the original stock was acquired from US hatchery sources and cultured for BC. Truly wild rainbows on the coast are likely descended from steelhead. Hicks had long lived rainbows that grew very large and some thought they were essentially land locked steelhead. Supposedly extirpated now.

Some lakes have while having no scuds have large populations of daphnia whose exoskeletons are a pronounced reddish orange. Trout in those lakes have very deep orange red flesh.

Hicks had long lived rainbows that grew very large and some thought they were essentially land locked steelhead. Supposedly extirpated now.

Some lakes have while having no scuds have large populations of daphnia whose exoskeletons are a pronounced reddish orange. Trout in those lakes very deep orange red flesh.

Honestly I don't need your knowledge dropped on me. You have a habbit of talking to people like they're children. I'm  not interested in it. Just shut up.

What Ralph posted is right and coming from experience. To tell a fellow fisherman to shut up because you think he's a know it all is wrong.
The best tool we get in life are people that have lived it and share their knowledge and experiences. When you shut it out you are actually handicapping yourself.

Thanks Ralph.  I appreciate the generosity you exhibit, when sharing your knowledge.

on topic...Just returned from the Nicola/ Thompson area. First time fishing the shallows with chronomids and had a fantastic time.
All due to a local fisher, Tyler was his name, Great Guy!, who was out on the lake too. He was very generous with his information, going as far as even pulling along side to give us a few flies to match the hatch exactly. He knew the lake, it's shallows, and how things moved around in the changing wind directions. Those bits of wisdom and others more specific to the time of year , water temperature , and plankton blooms really help us get a much better understanding of the lake and made for an exceptional fishing experience.  Once we took heed, listened to his advise and trusted his local knowledge , we found ourselves squealing like little kids, giggling with joy and playing fish after beauty fish.
finally after 8 hours of on and off waves of awesome take downs we finally waved good bye to our local buddy Tyler and rolled off into the sunset. Best day of productive fishing in a long time. Funny how one can learn things when simply smiling, listening and showing a little appreciation.

I have been fishing a long time, all over the place, and have a functional understanding of some of the science around fish and fishing....I still pick up a lot of helpful and informative bits from different forum members....I appreciate the collective knowledge on the forum....That’s coming from someone who knows everything about fishing😉

I'm new to the interior lake fishing. I have a small plastic row boat that can drag in anywhere and was thinking of heading up to the Kane Valley.
Hoping to stay on the smaller lakes likes Chicken Ranch / Englishman Lakes for some fly fishing with my son. I hear the lakes can suffer winter kill off. Does anyone know if that's been the case this year, how the lakes are for access and how it's been fishing this year ? Any tips appreciated.

I think you are probably okay. There are brook trout in upper second for sure. Can be moody....if you are going with your son, depending on his age and experience, you might want go a lake where you can drag around a pumpkinhead and crush 14 inchers. You might be better off at Shea or closer to Pike mountain

Thanks Hammer, we should be OK...he's got more patience than I do. lol
Just wonder if the water conditions are ok ? and if anyone has any suggestions to get us started. Having just experienced fishing with Chronomid patterns, on a lower elevation lake,  I'm hooked. Hoping the technique will be successful up in Kane Valley.Is it too early that high up or is our timing good?
Title: Re: 2020 Interior Lake Fishing Season
Post by: Rodney on May 27, 2020, 10:11:34 PM
I'd say Upper and Lower Second, Chicken Ranch Lake are super moody and are to be avoided if you are just new to it. I've seen fair amount of traffic at Englishmen but so far I have only heard of bad reports from it. Harmon has been doing well. Shea is another kid/family-friendly lake IMO. With that said, I find all Kane Valley lakes to be a bit tough as the shoals all drop straight down and the depth is difficult for beginners to figure out.

You should consider Marquart or Lundbom Lake. I'm bringing one of my kids to Lundbom tomorrow so will let you know how it goes. It takes about the same amount of time to get to Lundbom as to the Kane Valley Lakes.

I'll add another recommendation for Marquart. Nice easy launch,  perfect size to get around on. Numerous pennasks in the 13-15 inch range, with the odd ones 21-22. The shoal right by the boat launch can be good for stripping leeches in.

For chironies I've always done best at the far left of the lake (little bay across from the rest area) in 22 feet of water. Small black/ silver snow cones (size 16 scud hook). If all else fails troll a leech and you'll get em.

Lundbom today was pretty good. Because we were fishing quite deep (35ft), I rigged up one spinning rod with the slip float, the other with a sliding weight rig just dropping straight down to the bottom. Both had hard takes and junior got to reel in plenty of fish in the 16-18" range. Nothing long, but they were chunky. I'd say this and Every Day's suggestion are two good options for you.

Now that he lives 10 minute drive from the Vedder Crossing, he gets dropped off there and walks down to the run below it for a couple hours of fishing each day during the salmon season... He has probably talked to some of you down there with the little English he knows because he likes to chat...

A huge thanks to Brian Chan for his video's explaining Chronomid fishing and how it works and to FWR forum for the kind advice.
We looked at Lundbom and saw the floatilla. Being a little unsure of our selves and not wanting to be " those guys" on the lake we opted Marquart.
The small lake and little pressure made us feel a little bit more at ease.  After a few minutes we had a nice little Rainbow on board to pump. Caught it dragging a green wooly bugger. Once we saw the results of the pump, we dialed in the size and colour, and we were off to the races. Pennasks and Brookies, 16"- 18" .  The ticket for us was a # 14 Black/ Red ribs and tail snow cone over near the weed beds in about 10-15 water   Thanks Again for the advice. Had a blast.

Great Fishing next to you again Rod!  Your kid seems very well behaved (though the food helped alot).  Had a great day despite the slow start for me.  Pretty little lake.  Couldn't have asked for nicer weather and it was a bonus that I knew half the people on the lake!

I'm probably going to invest in a Jon boat soon.  I love my frameless pontoon, but the time for set up and packing away afterwards is a pain.  Also, casting long leaders with an indicator and lots of crap to snag in your boat was tough.  The thing I love the most about fishing is that you learn something new every day.  Whether its a new technique, lure or fishing spot.  Fishing stillwaters is a bit new for me compared to the time spent on local rivers float fishing.  When outfitted with the proper gear, these feisty trout can be every bit as fun as fighting a coho on the vedder.

Hope to see you out there again.  I'm thinking with this Covid thing, I'll be spending more time out on the lakes this year.

That was indeed pretty fun. ;) I find it kind of boring when fishing alone at the lake, way more interesting when you have 3 or 4 boats fishing together, plus it'd speed up the exploring and figuring out what they are eating part. I was thinking Thursday was my last trip this season, but I will most likely squeeze in another on Tuesday.... :-[ I'll keep you posted on FB.
