Interior Lakes?
« on: May 03, 2010, 09:19:07 PM »
I was wondering if anyone has fished up in the interior yet this year.........The way the weather is going, we will need to go ice fishing again. :(

Been twice. Kamloops area both times. Cold weather, lots of wind, rain and snow, but the fish where there. Pictures are in the Fish Porn thread. I'll be going every weekend from now till July.

Lunbom was slow last weekend, but I think this weekend will be good.  Think it was turning over.

The weather has been particularly bad for the last couple of weeks.

We need a week of 20+C for the hatches to get to the point where they will be effective.

Fished roche may 1,2,3...actually only able to fish on the 1st and half of the 2nd before wind and snow drove us away.  Fishing was slow but caught about 4 per day average for 4 guys.  good size fish 2-3 lbs.  We tried Jocko on the 3rd.  One of our guys got 2 in a blizzard.  On the drive home over the coq we had to do a little fancy footwork to get around all the accidents and narrowly avoid one of our own.  Bring on the sun please!

Have the lakes around Merritt turned yet?  Lakes like Roche, Tunkwa, Lac Le Jeune?

Tunkwa turns over in hours if it turns at all. The average depth of the lake is less then 20feet so it is always being churned by the wind. Tunkwa has been picking up the last couple days since the cold snap has lifted  ;D

I'm heading up to Merritt for the first week of august, probably heading to the pentiction area for the second half of that week. Any lakes or streams you'd reccomend for either bait fishing or fly fishing?
