My Wife's uncle (A big time flyfisher) was down this weekend from Kamloops. He said that the lakes around Kamloops are still covered with 12" of ice.
If the weather warms up, they should start being fishable in a week to 10 days.

still winter anywhere above the Ponderosa Pine.  Stump may come off in the next week or so if the wind keeps up.  Nicola is ice free but has fished slow.  One guy last week caught one trolling about 3.5lbs.  The kokanee are not even trying to bite yet.

i am working in the area and keep passing lakes that last year at this time were ready to go.  the job would be so much easier if those lakes would co-operate. had to come back to vancouver just to get some fishing in. maybe next week?

It's MUCH lower than that, Tunkwa has 15 inches ice ice and were at 3800 ft.
