Sunshine Coast Fishing Report
June 14, 2006
If you were ever interested in fly
fishing on the Sunshine Coast of B.C.
now is the time! All of our lakes are
productive and the fish are biting.
Dragonflies, damselflies and caddis
are hatching on most lakes. There
have also been some great ant hatches
as well.
Garden Bay lake and the other lakes in
the Pender Harbour area are a great
place to start. Within a 5 minute drive
you have 4 great lakes to work with.
Garden Bay, Mixal, Hotel and Sakinaw
lakes are all right there. All of them
have beautiful cutthroat trout that
should keep you busy all day long. The
most attractive thing about this area
(besides the scenery) is that if the
fishing is slow on the particular lake
you are fishing, get out of your float
tube (I just roll my waders down) hop
in the truck and go around the corner
to the next lake.
You cant go wrong when you troll
around the edges of these lakes
looking for where the fish are holding.
If you happen to get the occasional
snag dont worry too much, these are
the places that the fish are holding
and you may have to lose a few flies to
get them hooked. When you are lucky
enough to get into a fish dont be in a
hurry to continue on around the lake. I
will often turn around after I have
released the fish and come through
the exact location I just trolled with
my line as close to the same depth as
possible.
The flies that you must have for your
fly box include; muddler minnow,
wolly buggers (green, black and
brown), rainbow minnows, damselfly
nymphs, dragonfly nymphs and adult
caddis flies.
Good Luck!
