Saltspring Island
« on: April 04, 2006, 11:52:11 AM »
heading to Saltspring for the easter weekend, any tips for fishing for bass, will be fishing from my pontoon boat.

I was informed that the trout fishing is also really good right now in Saint Mary's

any tips, greatly appreciated

 I'm lucky both my mom and brother live there, almost right on the lake, no hotel, just free lodging and good food.

Bass should be pretty shallow.  They'll definitely be gettin ready to spawn.  Should be feeding really heavy.  Try spinnerbaits or tubes, or if you want to fly fish try leech patterns.  You can fish chronomids on St. Mary's and catch both bass and trout.
