Hopefully heading to Big Bar lake in June, first time fishing this lake so was wondering what kind of flies guys are using? Also line types recommended at that time of year.

I have a reserved site for middle of June. Hope i am able to attend, large campsites so keeping your social distancing should not be a problem but then the powers to be dont see it that way.
I wouldn’t hold my breath that you will be able to go to the provincial campground in June unless things improve quickly .i guess you could always camp rough on a side logging road and day trip it to the lake .You can launch a small cartop boat on the Clinton end of the lake but you wont get a trailered boat in there. hope you don’t mind lots of mosquitoes , they are brutal there
very hard lake to fish be prepared to be skunked
Do not go. Not worth the frustration.
Plus last year it was pretty heavily ice fished. Two guys in particular were caught with 3 or 4 rods each and a mess of fish. Way way over their limit.
Fishing is slow.
"Gun control"...... is hitting what you aim at!!!!
Nick Name of Big Bar Lake is SKUNK Lake ! as you get Skunked Often - I Know Bad Fisherman ! But Even THE LEGEND gets skunked there and as Rod said you better like Mosquitos as there Abundant . Boat Speed is also only 10 kph to. No boating Sports allowed ! RJ
honestly june is one of the most frustrating months on big bar, when most other lakes are fishing well at this time not so for big bar, there is such an abundance of plankton type critters (daphnia?) the trout mostly go off of larger bugs, the odd ones you do catch are mostly full of these microscopic things that would be tough to imitate. you could try tiny glassworms or possibly work the aggression angle with boobies on the shoals. I no longer fish big bar in june because of this.
