| Fishing Tips |
The giant 'travelling' sedges are famous in BC Interior lakes
and occur from mid June to the end of July. When the trout are
feeding on these adults, the fishing can be hot.
Cast ahead of a feeding fish and quickly strip line to imitate
an insect scurrying across the surface. I prefer to fish when
there is a bit of a ripple on the water. |
