Bridge Lake Area
« on: June 11, 2013, 07:33:05 AM »
Rented a cabin on a lake north of Kamloops this weekend.  Based on some research looks like I need to bring chironomids, buggers, and leeches for the fly rod.  What would you throw with a spinning rod and what about live bait?  Any help would be appreciated!

In regards to spinning gear, i always seem to do well with small/medium Blue Fox spinners(the bullets work even better IMO) or my go to lure if I am spinning, which is a Gibbs hammered gold Croc with an orange stripe, size depending on your target.

Amen to that.
Works on EVERYTHING! Probably the single most deadly lure ever made from what I have found.
Taken steelhead, cutties, bows, coho, chinook, chum, pinks and even sockeye on it.

Panther martins are also deadly as said above.
Try a lucky bug maybe as well. They seem to do well on a troll!
If wanting to do bait, throw worms on a bottom up set-up. Apparently power bait works well too!

Don't forget to bring scuds up as well for the fly rod (for a fast troll in 5-14 feet of water).
Every fish we have seen cleaned (or cleaned/pumped) in the past 2 weeks has just been full of them in every lake I'v been to.
A light grey or beige colour in various sizes (big is good though) seems to be the best bet for most lakes.

Cheers!

Thanks a lot for the great advice!  Bringing my tying gear with me so I will be able to improvise fly wise.  I'll post a report after the weekend!

Well only managed a few on flies but the spinners worked very well!  They were tasty.
