Going up to the Thompson River this weekend at Juniper Beach and above. Any suggestions on what to use? I will be fly and/or gear fishing.

Thanks Rod. Yeah it's sure bubbling down there, but last week when the river was at 6.5ish I took a look at Juniper and the water was actually quite clear. So I did'nt just want to be staning around this weekend there, so IF i were to try it up there were the water is nicer and not as turbulent what would you suggest?

No idea as we usually do our trips much later. Perhaps swing by Reaction Tackle in Abbotsford if you are heading up from the Lower Mainland. Daryl will be able to show you which flies to use.
