Rice lake...

Sassamat..

Lafarge Lake...

Being that i am bringing my little cousin... we need to get into fish.. not necessarily big ones.. just fish

Kokanee in Lafarge? They must be quite small, cause that pond is very small, and shallow.

Post by: THE_ROE_SLINGER on February 18, 2006, 11:52:27 PM: at this time lafarge would be your best bet. Buntzen has not been producing lately

Post by: huntwriter on February 21, 2006, 11:19:27 PM: I went to Buntzen lake this past weekend, spent almost all day there and caught nada, zero, zilch. Would I have known what I read here today I would have hopped over to Lafarge lake. Ah, well there is still next weekend.

Post by: masu on February 22, 2006, 09:02:25 PM: Try Sasamat. I fished there 8-10.5 am today, it is fun. Hooked 7 average 10 inches, among them, a 46cm cutthroat. And the vista...

A few notes that worked for me, hope will help:
1. Try diff depth, bottom, 4 m, or surface.
2. Prepare long cast set up, chase where fish jumps.
3. Shrimp, power bait,worm should all work.

Thats not surprising. I think Rice is fished out, until they restock it. Wait til mid to late March for restocking.
