grasshoppers on okanagan lake

[hunter1993ap]

has anyone had any luck fishing hoppers out there. i have never tried it but heard it works good. i was also wondering because its so hot now will the trout come to the surface to feed./

Little hook through the plate on their shoulders and let them swim.A wee drop of Crazy glue works great too.If you catch a bunch of hoppers keep them in the fridge,the cold slows them down some.Pisses off the wife though.:mrgreen:

do you want it to be calm out or can you fish in windy days because around here it seems the wind just wont stop.

i have caught some nice rainbows on okanagan lake with grasshoppers. I find the mouth of creeks and rivers works great.

Don't know about Okanagan lake , but hoppers are hot on the back eddies of Columbia & Kootenay rivers. Creek mouths, as mentioned, is a good bet - use'em behind a bobber about three to four feet.

You can fish Grasshooper Patterns anywhere that there are grasshoppers. Iv successfully used the patterns in all weather conditions.

I think there is no bait on the big lake, someone have the regs handy?

No bait ban. My dad always told me that hoppers were hands-down the best bait for Ok Lake. I'm 5 minutes from the lake and have never tried it. :?

Rainbow trout daily quota = 2 (only one over 50 cm)
