lake fishing

I ventured out today for some fun and to try my hand at lake fishing. It was a beautiful day, but I must say that I am uncertain if lake fishing is for me or not. No fish, just lot's of clean lures. Mason

Its been a strange spring so far fishing wise. I went out last monday and got 8-9 to the boat, 2 of which were over 20". One week later went back and got skunked. Any given day my friend.

Mason, What lake were you fishing? South island?

I agree - started fishing Langford Lake last two weeks - just bizarre as far as I'm concerned - last week had like 8-10 hits, nothing aggressive, nothing sticking...drove me nuts. This week, same, 3 or 4 light bites. Just when I was ready to back it in, got 2 quick ones - on and running around 13"...let them go even as my daughter pleaded not to...lol

The temperature is getting there - I think couple more weeks and it should be real hot.

I fished Elk yesterday. 10 or so smacks, only 2 to hand. One very small, one about 16 inches.

No fish rising anywhere, and I fished around the whole lake. There were chironomids hatching near the rowing club, that's the only place I saw feed and where I picked up my first fish.

Most of the action for me happened just after 1:00pm. I found the morning was slow going although I talked to one other guy who said he had hit four that morning.

Another week or 2 and it should be on fire as it warms up a little.

Langford has been great for the stockers.... cant keep them off (if you're fishing around the small island)

Has anyone seen the turtles between Beaver and Elk?... Looked like a bunch of bike helmets sitting on a log Are they native to the lake? (these weren't red eared ones)

Kemp lake is also on fire,Hard to keep em off,Lots of fish to be caught,Of course all were released.

Yeah true - if you want the stockers, they'll take anything - lots of flash, and shallow. Got kind of tired of them last year so stick to the deeps now.

Hit Langford yesterday. Got 7 to the boat, but I was trying everything I had. Best set up was dragging a dewy on a full sink flyrod.

I was angling long lake. I may try it again sunday or monday. Hopefully the weather holds. Mason

Spider Lake was good to me last weekend - one 20 inch rainbow. But my fishin' buddy got skunked - so it cost him a loonie - nice rainbow plus a loonie - next thing you know = he'll owe me a beer!

Great fishing but the water is really down - 8 feet or more.

Long rod, tight line
