Lake Fishing around 100 Mile House

[dak0ta]

Hey all,

How's the trout fishing around 100 Mile House during April? Any good spots and setups to use on a spinning rod?

Do you have a boat?

[dak0ta]

No, will probably be shore fishing with waders kind of deal. Maybe a kayak or if I meet somebody with a boat.

I have fished Gustafsen lake and did well but I have a boat so not sure how would do from shore, sorry could not be more help.

Lakes in 100 mile will almost be guaranteed to be frozen in april unless we have an extremely mild winter. I have seen ice on lakes up there until the may long weekend some years. Stump lake and Nicola etc are usually better bets early.

AS above, most will be frozen well into April and many into early May. There could be open water around the margins at that time, but it will be "iffy". Stay further south.

Given that this has been a long winter, is ice fishing still a viable option in April? Would the ice still be safe to walk on?
