These days it's rare that anyone will publicly comment on fishing on a specific small lake. Kump is stocked and it has quality water regulations - no ice fishing, a 2 fish limit and a bait ban so it likely still has some good fishing. Do a search and find contour map of the lake (https://www.anglersatlas.com/i/pdf/legacy/ca/BC/00092101.pdf )that should help you decide where to fish. Good spots to try are the edges of drop off and the points of shoals in deep water. Check out online source for lures and flies such as the common staples of chironomids, scuds, leeches, dragonfly and damsel nymphs. You can also call a local outdoor shop in Princeton or Merritt and ask for suggestions or drop in and buy some flies or lures they recommend for that lake.
