Our family will most likely be doing the canoe circuit in the powell river area lakes in april.  Has anybody fished in these lakes and offer some insight.  I hear some of the cutthroat can reach over 10 pounds.  My brother the_roe_man will be tying some muddlers and wolly buggers for the trip.  We will also bring some spoons and spinners. Thanks.

fishing is alright there...keep an eye on the regulations as the locals get very upset if you claim not to know the rules... There is a shop called Powell River Outdoors... Verry cool place... go in there for some help.. A guy named Sam works there... or you can go to Marine Traders... they have a Blonde that you would love there...

[THE_ROE_SLINGER]

Thanks for the tips guys. Very much appreciated. Anythought on some other fly patterns or lures to try.

ahaha i jsut happen to know Sam . great guy to talk to!!!

for flies try McLeod Sticklebacks or any other stickleback imitation. What time are you going? most of the lakes on the canoe route are at fairly low elevation and don't necessarily fish well in the summer, much better in the winter-early spring.

For cutts in a lake i had alot of succes with a sparse muddler minnow with a yellow body. Im not sure what it is called but it outfished everything i had by alot.

We will probobly be going in april

April should be good, Inland opens on April first and always provides a couple of weeks of really good fishing before the water warms up too much. Deeper lakes on the route like Lois, Dodd, & Khartoum should fish well in April. At that time of the year the cutties are also feeding on kokanee so streamers in the 4 to 6 inch range will work well.

4-6 inch streamers.   I have just the flies.  I tied a buch of bucktails in that range for a friend targetting gerrards using the polar bear fur.  I think it is called aurora fly or something that imitates the kokanee.  Also, are the kokanee worth targeting in these lakes.

[CDone]

Lois has some nice size ones, as well as the odd escapee from the salmon pens, rest of the lakes they remain smallish and are not targeted, although they can be fun on a dry fly in the evening.
