Hello Everyone

The weather has been very nice the last few days. No rain and quite a bit of sunshine has made fishing for the guests really pleasant. The guests that are in have landed over 80 fish in the last few days and are having a few of them smoked for their trip home.

Our walk in guests this week enjoyed a horse back trip to Eagle's Bay where we had lunch and continued on with our ride. They had brought their canoe and enjoyed a few trips around the lake. They did not fish but loved the scenery and nature and commented that it was a excellent place "to worship nature"

Hello Everyone

We had a few drop ins this week join us at the lodge. These guests enjoyed some great fishing and a trail ride. The trail riders were quite a young group ages 6,8 and 16. They enjoyed this immensely and loved being out on the horses.

The weather has been off and on this week with a bit of rain but the winds were calm making the fishing very enjoyable.

The guests that were in this past week were catching between 30- 40 fish per day. We had one guest that was doing quite a lot of chironimid fishing and having great success near and around Eagle's Bay.

See you soon

Hello Everyone

It is a beautiful morning at the lake. The lake is calm and the sun is shining. We had a few days of rain and overcast days but the weather is supposed to be very nice for the upcoming week.

The fish are finally finished spawning now and have left the stream. Last year fishing seemed to be great in certain ares of the lake especially at the back from Bear Track, Ed's Point and Eagle's Bay. This year anglers have been catching fish in frequent numbers all over the lake. The area between the forestry site and the lodge has been very good. Also all along the shoreline up and down the lake has been quite good. Hope this keeps up.

If you are a spin casting angler spinners and flat fish predominately green with some yellow and red have been working extremely well.

For fly anglers the wholly buggers, doc spratley's, and mayfly nymphs are still very hot. It is usually the black wholly buggers that work best but they are really starting to hit on the green ones as well. Green is the colour this year as they seem to be hitting any wet fly with this colour in it.

Talk to you soon

It was a very successful long weekend at Chaunigan Lake. We had a full house every cabin was rented plus we had three RV's come in. Many people were enjoying the hot tub and games room.

The fishing was absolutely spectacular this weekend. 20-30 fish per day was the norm. There is a huge chironomid hatch going on right now. Fishermen are starting to catch fish on the floating lines as fish are drawing nearer to the surface.

It has been a very nice few days wind has been down and nice and sunny. It supposed to nice the rest of the week temperatures getting into the mid 20's.

Hello Everyone

Happy Canada Day! We are in the midst of a very busy weekend. Many guests have come in from all over. We have a fly in from Oregon and some more drove in from Washington who are on a BC fishing adventure and Chaunigan is one of there several destinations. We also have guests from the Okanagan, Quesnel and Prince George.

Many people are out on the lake enjoying the great fishing. We had four friends from Washington join us this week and they have been enjoying their yearly visit to the lodge for 40 years.

It has been cool the last few days between 10 and 12C but should warm back up again in the next few days. The water temperature is still around the 10C mark. The fish are starting to come up into the shallower depths of the lake but most can be caught between 20 and 40ft.

Bye for now

Hello Everyone

The weather has been gorgeous the last couple days. Temperatures between 15-19C. The water has been nice and calm and fish are biting hard. Most of the guests have been catching 20-50 fish in a couple of days.

Chironomid hatches are happening at the back of the lake and leech patterns and mayfly nymphs are still working really well. Doc Spratley's with a green body are also starting to work very well.

We have most of our cabins rented out now and are going to be very busy during the July 1st long weekend. We do have some openings so book now to reserve a spot at the lodge.

Hello Everyone

The weather had been very nice the last few days. We have some rain today and supposed to carry on till tomorrow with the weekend getting nice again. Highs should be in the 18-22C range.

All of our recent guests have been catching their limits and releasing many more. Some have been catching 15-25 fish a day. Mayfly nymphs have been working quite well and dragonfly nymphs are starting to work as well. The water temperature is around 12C and the fish are starting to get quite active. Most have been catching them in the 20-40ft depth range.

The fish are almost done spawning now and thousands of fry can be seen in the inlets and bays especially Eagle's Bay on the south-west end of the lake.

Hope to see you soon

Tom
