Hi everyone! Time to start thinking about fishing. Jim Phillips, Ken Strand and I have been tying flies like crazy in anticipation of the coming season. Sadly, the earliest ice off in my records is April 18th, and I don't think we will be close to that this year (latest is May 18th). Last year it came off on April 30th.Anyway, get ready by having lots of size 12 and 14 Chironomids on hand. Black body with red wire wrap work best early. I've also had lots of success early with small Charoboras (size 14 or 16). Small micro leeches in olive, black, or brown also should be in your fly box. These are standard patterns, but if you don't tie your own flies, see Ron at the Kamloops Fly shop. Good fishing!

Hey Bob
I'll take a dozen size 12 chironomids and a dozen size 14 charoboras.

Nice Bolg (dumb word)
Ice off is a long ways off, I'm thinking of going to Swan Lake in Vernon!
Correct spelling for Cousins (as Mr. Bob and Buster call them) Chaoborus

Heh Gord. It's blog, not bolg!

Say, just wondering why we haven't had another fishing report. Anything to do with the 5 inches of new snow? :-)
