    Vanderhoof area. Fishing

    My hunting buddy lives in The Hoof he likes fishing and he’s always asking me to come up in the spring to go fishing , but….. He likes Lake Trout I’m not a big fan of them for taste .
    Any good lakes around there for Rainbows ?

    Most of the lake trout lakes also have good rainbow trout fishing.

    Troll shallow with rainbow gear.
    Depending on which lake there could be Kokanee or rainbow in the shallows.

    Look around is there someone you can introduce to shooting because that’s the only way we will buck the anti gun trend sweeping Canada! "tigrr 2006"

    There's a short list of lakes that have no rainbow trout

    Yeah just about every lake has rainbow trout. A few that don't are stocked with brook trout or kokanee

    There are more lakes within a 2 hour drive than you could ever fish in your lifetime. Look at a backroad mapbook. Depending on the version it will give info on lots of lakes in the area.

    There's also the Freshwater Fisheries Society, they can give you stocking reports for different stocked lakes in your region

    Re: Vanderhoof area. Fishing

    2 Island buddies & I put in for Moose LEH south of Vanderhoof every year. On our 2018 trip we managed to grab the site at Brewster Lake to set up camp. I had my canoe along & went for a few paddles on the lake. Caught one rainbow at the far end of the lake. The focus was on hunting moose, but I also had my shotgun along for waterfowl, so didn't spend a lot of time with a lure in the water.
