Hello Everyone

The weather has been absolutely gorgeous at the lake. Highs have been in the 20- 24C range and skies have been clear. The nice weather is expected to stick around for awhile and be nice right through to the long weekend.

The fishing is still incredible up at the lake. Many fishermen are still catching between 20- 40 fish per day easily.

It has been a great season so far and we have many more bookings for September. Come on up and enjoy some great fishing and scenery. The horses have been very busy this year so for those interested in a trail ride the horses are ready to go.

Talk to you soon

Hello Everyone

The fishing is still incredible up at the lodge. Guests are still catching plenty of fish (10-15 per hour is not uncommon). The families have been coming up and joining in on the great fishing.

We have had plenty of trail riders in August enjoying the many trails and incredible view from the top of Chauningan Mountain.

The weather has been very nice the last few weeks and expected to stay that way for awhile.

Talk to you soon

Hello Everyone

It is a beautiful morning, the lake is calm and sun is shining. The weather is supposed to stay relatively nice throughout the week. Highs nearing 18-20C and sunny days with a few cloudy periods.

The Mayfly hatch is still going on and I have been catching a couple of fish on the dry flies. The Doc Spratley, Wholly Bugger and Red Carey are still the hot flies to use on the lake.

We had a helicopter fly in yesterday afternoon. John and his son will be staying with us for 3 or 4 days to relax and enjoy some fishing.

Hello Everyone

The lake has been very calm the last few days. We are expected to have a mix of weather in the next few days. Some cloudy periods with a chance of rain mixed with sun but highs of 20-22C.


The fishing as always is great. There is a small mayfly hatch going on right now. So many different flies seem to be working this year. Really any green, yellow or black fly seems to be working. I am quite surprised the fish are not selective much at all this year as long as they have these colours in them. Flat fish lures are working extremely well. Green with some yellow and red are working the best.

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.
