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.

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.
