Heading up to thalia in a few weeks again.  We were there last year and there was a spot on the kvr that was washed out.  We were able to get around it with a jeep and truck/small trailer, but barely...  Anyone know if the washout is better/worse?

Any tips on trolling thalia right now?

 I had to turn back this year. It is worse than  the last fall. Pumpkin head trolling or chironomiding at 15-20 ft in camp bayou.

When did you go?

[shi man oh man]

just drive thru to the highway, then take the ranch road in. much faster and easier

[island boy]

which way are you guys going in? we go up the coq and go through brookmere. is it that way or through princeton?

Yes, AP Ranch is the turn in off of the highway. I used to take both roads in when I fished this lake 7-10 years ago. Haven't been to the area there since 2005.

we go through brookmere too, but taking the kvr instead of staying on the brookmere rd saves about an hour. the kvr meets up with coalmont rd, then the thalia turnoff is less than 1 km to the south.

If the road is anything like last year I wouldn't take it. Week after May long last year it took me 3 hours from Brookmere because of washouts, ice ruts 2 feet deep on hairpin turns and don't forget the 10 times I had to stop to buck up 3 foot round downed trees across the road. My advise is take Coalmont rd till you turn off to Thalia. I towed a 22 ft trailer last year so was extra slow. Big fish towards the shallows at the cabin and towards the other campsite. If you go let us know how you did. Bring a chainsaw and a heavy winch is my advise.

Thanks!  Yeah i think we will be sticking to coalmont rd this time and abandoning the kvr.  Have a chainsaw, but no winch.

Last year around this time i caught 6 rainbows ranging from 16"-22" all using a watermelon apex.  I was the only one of the group of 5 of us that caught anything.

This year will be much better.  Heading up in 2 weeks, I'll let you know how we do.

Very good, when I saw it washed out last year I wrote to the Trans Canada Trail people as this section is part of the trail route. Glad they finally repaired  it.
