I just back from a day of fishing on Kootenay Lake B.C. If you have never fished up there I suggest you put it on your calender. We fished with a friend of mine Kerry Reed. Kerry owns and operates Reel Adventures Fishing Charters. He is located in Nelson B.C. This is beautiful country, worth the trip to see the magnificent mountains and the lake that is over 80 miles long. Kerry is extremely knowledgable on how to catch fish . We caught 5 rainbows and one bull trout. The biggest rainbow was 8.5lbs and the bull trout was about 7lbs. We only fished for half a day and did very well. Give Kerry a call, this is a year a round fishery. Best times for the rainbows is November, December, then April May. They also put on 4 derbies a year so if your interested in the derbies check that out. It is a great fishery. It is only a 4 1/2 hour drive from Kalispell. I will put up the pictures on my most recent catches home page.
See ya on the water
