ill probably fly fish but will do spinning as well

You could try jones lake.

[Humpy]

Kawkawa Lake offers great kokanee fishing. You would need a boat.

The Fraser is in freshet then so unless you want to floss spinning or flyfishing at the nearby creek mouths where clear water enters is your best bet as passing salmon will pull in and clear out their gills. I would suggest buying a copy of Fishing The Fraser River from Mission to Hope which has directions etc to the various bars etc in the area and go do some exploring.

what aboutskagit river its near hope isnt it ?

[Fisherama]

The Skagit River might start shaping up depending on how late you go in July (it's usually quite high still in early July), but it's still about a 1 to 1.5 hr drive up the FSR.  You might have some luck up at Silver Lake if you're limited to fishing from shore.

[koifish]

End of July pretty much like 26 or 27 to the 2 of August

It's an hour drive wow cupcakes.......  Lol

Emory Creek looks good

And the coqohalla river

Skagit is your best bet in the area. Silver lake fishing the inflow of Silverhope creek (where the creek dumps into the lake) could also do you some good but please be gentle with the odd summer steelhead that roam the area that time of year. remember the outflow creek mouth is closed to fishing.

Personally I would do the Skagit. head all the way to the lake and then work your way back hunting for Bull trout and small rainbows. I  target the big bulls with heavy flies off a dry line, spoons are also great for them. Deep holes and structure will be your hunting grounds to find them. Rainbows I like best using small nymphs up to size 8 under an indicator, dry flies can also be great but wait until you see fish rising. The rainbows can be found almost anywhere from knee deep water to the edges of big deep holes.

If your not a tiny little dude you should be able to wade many areas of this river however there is ALOT of runs you can fish without needing to cross the river. tailouts are where you want to cross

That's hook I appreciate  the help


I'll try it out I like planning ahead

[koifish]

What sizes flies for bulls?

[HOOK]

It can range depending on their mood of course. Have flies ranging from small size 6 all white clousers up to 4-6" bunny leeches in muted colours (olive, white, black, blue - adding a hint of orange or red can also be helpful)

you want movement and weight for Bull flies. Heavy to reach the bottom where they sit and then lots of movement to entice them to attack it because they think its alive.

This is my largest Bull on the Skagit so far. caught him on an olive/white double bunny pattern




Good Luck

[koifish]

That's a nice fish

 My camp is at bridal falls water park they got a camp section there any fishing near by there?  I'm leaving my house early morning so I may take a few fishing pit stops lol
