Kootenay Lake, BC Trophy Rainbows
Posted: Wed May 09, 2012 12:17 pmSpring fishing on Kootenay Lake is on. Most days out getting rainbows over
10 lbs. All chromers coming in as the spawners are up at Gerrard now. Will be going up there hopefully on the weekend to see the spawning fish, and get an idea on the counts.
Last week we were getting nice fish most days. Fish in the 12 - 15lb range.
On wednesday we never landed one over 10lbs. Then on Thursday everything came together and we had a busy day. We landed 5 rainbows in the 11 - 17lb range. Gorgeous chromers. Great fight. Also threw in an 8lb dolly and 4 shakers. The 219, 221, and 215 were hot that day. Typical spring colors.
Flies with green in them are working well as the water turns green from the runoff.
Still have a few salmon/halibut dates left. Will be out on the west coast fishing by the beginning of July.
Weather have finally turned nice. Looks like we may get a summer after all.
Hope you can join me soon.
