Big Fish – Fish Lake - Heywood Claxton – June 1931
Catches Fine Fish at Fish Lake
According to T.D. Costley, proprietor of Rainbow Lodge, Fish Lake, Heywood Claxton, son of Mr. and Mrs. A.C. Claxton of this city has the distinction of catching the largest fish ever landed from that lake on Sunday. It weighed nine and a half pounds and was caught on the fly and took 20 minutes to land. After showing it to Mr. Costley, the fish was sent down to Lisle Fraser, Vancouver, to be exhibited in their store window. It was a fine specimen of what can be caught in Kamloops lakes.
