South Island Lakes 2022

[kingspring]

I have seen trout in the creek next to the Brookleigh launch. I believe there’s a good chance some spawn in there. Triploids apparently feel no need to spawn. They just swim, eat and grow.

The brookleigh creek is a cutthroat stream, they used to spawn there, not current what is happening there now.
Growing up on the lake a friends older brother used to catch cutties, while we younger kids hammered sunfish,catfish, and the odd smallmouth.
Good times!

With the onset of 'fall snow' it seems time to hit the local lakes. Have the lakes cooled down?

I think fair amount of those might also be carps too.. They are hard to entice to bite. It’s possible but tough
