Good time to go, but expect slow fishing. You can fish hard for days without a hit on those lakes. Do some research there are other lakes around (that won't cost $100 plus a day to fish) with 20lb plus Bows. The ones I know of are Turnip, and Rudick's Dam outside Lytton and Pondera in northern Idaho.

Closest campsite is the forestery site a Botanie Lake. As for the road a truck will do it.

No it is not in the middle of nowhere, just bypassed. Another lake has come back to mind Blue Earth. I have seen some spring sized bows come out of there too.

other lakes where big fish have been caught include, kidd lake in merritt and ballon lake by 150 mile house.

thought i'd better give instead of just taking.

thanks for the tips. will definately check them out.
