Fly-in 'Fly Fishing'

If you own a fly rod....bring it along.....you won't regret it!!!!

Imagine flipping out a fly, slowly stripping it back on one of our pristine spring fed lakes. Then out of the corner of your eye, in the crystal clear water, you notice a huge swirl followed by a wake leading directly to your fly. Suddenly there's a splash....the fish is on and taking more and more line.

Its a struggle, the power these fish have is amazing. The fight is seems relentless ,but eventually the fish tires and you are able to slowly bring it to the boat. Your buddy scoops it up in the net. What a fish....what a day...what a trip!!

The opportunity to fly fish for Smallmouth Bass should never be passed up. These fish put up a great fight and are a hoot to catch using floating flies. Folk generally use such flies as Mudler Minnows, Poppers, Woolly Buggers, Nymphs and Grasshoppers. Sizes can vary, we recommend #4 to #12.

Northern Pike are considered to be the easiest when it comes to selecting a fly. Hungry Pike have been know to eat just about anything. Colorful flies with lots of feathers and fur work best as it gets the their attention. Woolly Buggers, Rabbit Fur Zonkers, Streamers like Mickey Finns, Deer Hair Mouse imitations and colourful Steelhead flies. As for sizing... Big Pike eat big flies.

Spring and Fall are probably the best times to fly fish for Lake and Speckle Trout. Water temperatures are cold enough and Trout can be found near the surface. Trout flies usually depend on what insect hatch is occurring. Dry and Wet flies are both important to have in your fly box. Adams, Royal Coachmans, Scuds, Leeches, Chironomids, Ants, Stonefly numphs, etc. can all entice beautiful trout to bite. Fly sizes can vary from a tiny #22 to larger #1.
