Pitt Lake
« on: July 06, 2014, 07:19:19 PM »
I live about 10 minutes from Pitt Lake but have no idea how to fish it... Any tips on how or where to fish in the massive lake would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Well you'll be the guy to ask in a year if you're that close ;-)

More info like if you've got a boat or not and what kind of fishing you do will probably help you get some better info.  I've only fished there a couple of times from boat near the islands so I'm not much help to you.

June can be a great time to fish the hexagenia mayflies that come off the lake. They are HUGE and the cutthroat key in on them. If they are on the bite you will know, as they show themselves. Every now and then you will encounter a cutty of about 18 inches, but most are between 10 and 14. When they're not on the dry, I often strip sculpin patterns in shallow water, they take them on a very erratic strip. When fishing like this we also catch the occasional bully, rainbow, whitefish, and northern pikeminnow.

I know very little about fishing the deeper water for dollies, but some do it with success. Also if you're not a flyfisher, casting or trolling small spoons or spinners works well. Several guys do this near the outflow.

If youre no familiar with the lake be careful for the shallows, the tides, and occasional heavy water.
