I was up there a couple weeks ago.
I didn't post any reports about my trip to the shushwap because I got skunked.......I would still bring the gear if I were you though.
Time of day I was fishing probably had a lot to do with why I didn't get any action, but then again, it could have had a lot to di with the method as well.
While I was there, I rented a sport boat for a day (8 hours). Tried fishing for the first 1/2 the day with no luck then, decided to make the most of the $400.00 rentral and jsut all take turns on the tube. The water was really high 2 weeks ago, I'd immagine it still is now. I think the name of the place I rented the boat from is called Magna Bay, its located on the north shushwap in Anglemont.
Your fresh NON-Tidal fishing licence will be ok if you plan to catch and release and rainbow or char, but I believe ou can keep kokane and dollies. I did spend the money for the rainbow sticker on my licence. Maybe I'll get another chance to head up that way again before the tag expires.
Have a great Canada Day long weekend up in Shushwap, and tight lines
