I heard of Cultus Lake being a good spot to try for Smallmouth Bass. This is my first time bass fishing and want to try this spot :D. I have two questions:

1. What moths and times are good for fishing in this lake for bass?

2. What should I use to target these bass? I know the commons answer is worms on a hook but I want to do lure fishing, so should I use plastic worms, crankbaits, chatterbaits, etc...?

Yes for sure, it is not as common in the tidal fraser, but you can catch pikeminnows in some lakes and rivers that are 2-5 lb and bigger.

I had a crazy experience with one of my cousins. One day about 2 years ago, me and my cousin went out fishing near the Annacis Island. We usually catch peamouth chub and sculpins with the occasional northern pikeminnow. However, that day my cousin had pulled a HUMONGOUS pikeminnow. This was approximately 1ft and 5 inches in LENGTH :o. The max width of the fish was about 4 inches. I only hear pikeminnow reaching lengths of 1ft so this was surprising for me. Also this fish was thick in girth but we did not measure. Before you ask for photos, my phone was at home and his phone was dead. As soon as I bring that up, people think I am lying :'(. However, is there any way that a pikeminnow can reach that size?

I have Simms G3s and the felt was worn to nothing (over about 10 years or so)…I tried a couple of places in Maple Ridge and the felt fell off while fishing….I sent them back to Simms in Montana and for about $100 they did a great job…just like new…

back in the day people used indoor/outcarpeting. I have no experience with it however.

I have also heard recommendations for the felt used in conveyor line belts.

A couple of years ago I couldn't find any replacement felt at any tackle store at any price, so I went on line and bought the toughest, high quality industrial felt I could find, 3/4 inch thick, from a business called The Felt Store. The smallest portion they would sell is enough for 4 boot re-fleltings.    Went on great, looked great, worked really well, but did not last even half the summer beach fishing.  Ended up buying new boots because of the required drying time.

I still have enough for 3 more sets of felts. 

What I'm thinking I want to do is, before I put the felt on the boots, I want to soak the felt in some kind of liquid plastic stuff that will will soak all the way through, and then cure in to a flexible plastic.  Probably polyurethane.  I think that is what's done to the store bought felts.  My question though is, does anyone have any idea what particular product I could use? 

Any thoughts on this will be helpful.

The last 3 are all spam. Rod has been real slow to remove reported spam.
