·If any one is or is going to be in the Whistler area this spring,they should try Alta! My first time fishing there today was a great experience.
Luke and I arrived at 11:30 and fished till 5:00. I was using a muddler minnow.In the first 15 minutes on the water I hooked and landed an 18" and a 16" cutthroat and Luke landed a 15"cuttie. I knew we had picked a good piece of water.We had dozens of hook ups.Mostly in the shallows on both muddlers and black and red leeches.The rainbows are usually 10"-15" and Luke caught a 20"+ cuttie on a leech. We were told by a local the Rainbows are making a come back.After people had diverted/altered the inflow and outflow streams and introduction of sticklebacks.They stocked the lake 6 yrs ago with sterile cutthroat. The cutties have gotten fat on sticklebacks and have given the rainbows a fighting chance! I'm not sure of the regulations but we went barbless and C&R.
There was choronimids in there too but we didn't feel like sitting still.We wanted to explore.Apparently,there is good dry fly action starting in mid/late may with the flying ant hatch.Followed by other varities lin june /july.
Does any one have experience or knowledge of Showh,Loggers,Jane,Ivey,Brohm or other Whistler area lakes?
Keep those lines tight and wet!!
