    Netson Lake?

    Starting to plan a moose hunt and Netson Lake came into our sights [fly in from Muncho lk]. Has anyone been there recently? Any feed back you're willing to share?? Primarily after a nice cabin and some moose hunting.

    A very busy popular fly in hunting spot . Good hunting but plan 2-3 day hike off the lake to get back into the prime spots .

    any good moose hunting spot that is hunting off the lake won't have a cabin. Get a wall tent and go hunt in a good spot where you don't have to pack a moose 10 miles back to the lake

    Yup, same as us. We hunted the first year that the tri palm rule came into effect. No 2/3/10 rule back then, just an immature 2 pt or tri palm. We saw half a dozen bulls over 45" that had 2 points on the palm, shot a 40" 4x4 palm and a 2 point. One off the lake at the south end and the other way back off the lake on our quest for sheep (a loooong walk through a nasty burn to Brownie and Gataga....).

    We camped where Urst has his cabin now. Outfitter had camp up the river at the north end. Met the most beautiful Kiwi woman there....couldn't say sh8t without tripping over myself!! Haha. Came back to camp one day and there was a zip lock with fresh blueberry muffins! Could have, should have...oh well!!

    Great grayling fishing at the creek mouths and good lakers in the lake. Bring a boat if not staying with Urst.

    No idea what it is like now, probably busy like every where else.

    Good luck'

    Cheers

    for moose? you're one tough mutha

    g/o probably takes moose right at the lake each year, its no different than a thousand other lakes in BC, when the bulls are moving hard

    Glad to say I have hunted Northern BC

    Simon Fraser had pretty good judgement on what he found in BC
