4.5km in and out

Ah, wondered who beat us in? 🙂 I enjoy the hike, and that we usually have the whole lake to ourselves.

Yes finally some safe ice here

@@ChrisKingAngling I think it might be getting colder this next week... maybe our big lakes with freeze if we are lucky for some kokanee in february.

Canadian portion. Castlegar, BC

Hahaha. It happens for sure! Thanks for the sub and comment. Much appreciated.

My pleasure! Thanks for the comment.

Thanks. Was a blast to film.

Thanks. It was a blast to film.

Some areas are way less snaggy than others. I've lost my share of jigs over the years too.

@@ChrisKingAngling Yeah I need to bring the snorkel and go rescue some lures!

@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures I have a buddy that does that every year

@TheFishingDoctorsAdventures fishing magnet works too

@ Oh wow... then he's cleaning up already!

That was January 6th. Yeah, Castlegar. But it works no matter where you fish on the Columbia. Anytime after dark.

Anytime after dark works. The schools cruise the shoreline looking for sculpin and juvenile fish.

That's a deadly tactic for sure.

I'm going to make it a yearly trip. Some nice country you have around there! Cheers from okanagan valley 🍻🎣

Considered invasive in bc, hi limits just like perch and bass

We will never put a dent in the population. They've been well established since they were introduced in the 80's. Honestly, I don't know why there is a limit since they are an invasive species. I think it's because they are a big draw for anglers from all over.

​@@ChrisKingAngling Not sure where you are on the Columbia but here in Oregon and Washington there is no limit!

I was

6-15ft

Always a fun stop at Wilgress.

Smaller fish are better eating and have less mercury in them. I've kept less than 30 rainbows total since I moved here in 1996. Don't think I'm affecting the population, lol.

I prefer keeping the smaller fish 5lbs and under. They're way better eating and don't have as much mercury in them. There are also way more smaller fish than larger fish. The fish you are keeping above 5 lbs are the spawners, so you're technically killing way more fish by removing them from the system.

@ ya I apologize for that comment brother I was having a really bad day you guys keep fishin keep catching ! The big ones are rare the past 10 years, Happy Fishing 🎣

That's a great depth for Bulls. I've caught hundreds of Bull Trout but my biggest is still only 9lbs 6oz. Hoping to break the 10lb mark this month.

Can't see what?

Thanks! I would think these tactics would work anywhere that has Bull Trout, Lake Trout, Rainbow Trout, Browns, Cuttie, etc, etc.

Yes it was

Yep. No rain, no wind, and it's always beautiful in the Kootenays.

On Columbia River

Every Eddy has bows in it all the way to the border.

They're everywhere from the US/Canada border to HLK Dam upstream of Castlegar.

Good luck!

My pleasure! Where is Adams Lake and what species are you targeting in it?

@@ChrisKingAngling in the BC interior, region 3. After Lakers, bull trout and Kokanee seeing as I've never caught those species. I've only caught rainbows, northern pike minnow and one random lake white fish from the dock. Most of the people are targeting rainbows and kokes, so I'm trying to learn from them, one guys at our site wants to take me out to show me how he does it so looking forward to that!

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks. It was for sure!

The what?
