How do you guys get your boats in the lake? Do you know someone that lets you launch?

[newsman]

Unfortunately not. The only place Jo Public can launch at this point is from the ruff launch into the mud bath on Shook Rd. I have been trying to get answers from Mission, who refer me to the GVRD, who don't return calls, on why there is no proper public boat launch on to Hatzic. If you go keep your eyes open, three quarters of the lake has no more than three feet of water.  The north west sector is the only area where there is enough water to put a motor down.

The property owners around the lake are constantly cry about how the lake is filling in, and asking for tax dollars to have it dredged. I feel if the sport fishing community had reasonable access the property owners might get some of our sympathy and support.

My apologies if you find I am getting to political again.

I am right behind you on getting more public access to our waterways. Just like the whole Silvermere Lake thing. So where on Shook do you launch? Just before the entrance to the Hatzic community and under that bridge? Pain in the butt for a heavy boat like my Spratley.

All bass?  I wouldn't mind trying my hand at bass fishing! Is there any Crappies left in that lake? I used to catch them in there all the time quite a few years back... along with the odd bullhead and pikeminnow.

So what are people catching in there right now, mainly bass? What do you guys use for them? I'm looking to head out somewhere this weekend, maybe the old fishing grounds would be worth a try

I'll be using flies.

Minnow patterns. Tried Wooly Bugger and leach patterns, not a touch. Crappies will be after Chironomid, & Caddis there was a good hatch of them happening while I was there.

So can you launch a boat thats towed by a car or do you need a truck?

[newsman]

Truck.
