Wow, terrific fish and photos! Might I ask what the lightest tackle yourself or anyone you know has caught a decent one on? Do you ever even attempt to fly fish for them..I haven't but a fishing buddy has. Thanks again for the photos..nice to see another BCer posting here!

Thanks !! Most of the Walley were got on a white 4 tail jig with bright orange jig head. The Northern pike strike everything. I haven't caught any pike or walleye on a fly.Can't say I attempted it. But I did catch several bull trout on wet fly. The biggest Walley was 9.5lbs in the pictures caught on a small brown Mr. Wiggles with a black jig head with a yellow eye. I'll go through my tackel and get pics for you and post again soon.

Its a great place Been here for 15yrs now. We do lots of camping quading ect. In fact I just got back from a 4 day elk hunt.No luck this time the weather was to warm. The hotsprings are a great place to go as well. Only a couple hours north. Trust me if you come this far you gotta go there you will not be disapointed.

Not long now and we will be flying to the fishing hole. But not until this - 22 degree weather takes a hike. It's supposed to be spring. What happened???
