Trout Fishing Slow, Bass Fishing Slow

Trout fishing is SLOW on most lakes in the south island area.However there have been reports of chironomid hatches with accompanying fish action in Elk, Langford and Prospect Lakes. Anglers fishing Powerbait from shore have been doing OK. Paul Tilley reported catching rainbow trout on orange and pink Powerbait at Thetis Lake. Fly anglers are doing well trolling leeches and general searching patterns such as Doc Spratelys and Carey Special. Fluorescent Pink and Chartreuse Powerbait Eggs have been the hottest bait recently. Trollers have been doing OK with the Baitrix Trout lures in Holographic colours, especially for larger fish. They have also been doing well trolling Apex Trout Killers with the police car one the best and the black with silver glitter spots taking second place. Flatfish and/or Kwikfish have also been effective in sizes 7 and smaller in Frog, Yellow with Red Spots or Blue/Silver. Smaller Rapalas in Rainbow Trout or Brown Trout patterns also work well. Lastly, Willow Leaf Lake trolls with a worm-tipped GIBBS Wedding Band will almost always catch some fish. By the way, all wild rainbows and cutthroats over 50 cm must be released in Cowichan Lake.

Bass fishing was SLOW this past week. As the water temperature drops, bass become less and less active. Slow, finesse presentations such as tubes and plastic worms will work best now. Langford Lake, Shawnigan Lake, Prospect Lake and Elk and Beaver Lakes are the best local bass lakes.
