Totally beautiful. This resort attracts a lot of nature/wildlife viewers/photographers from around the world especially in spring and summer. The bird life is quite diverse, and sometimes guests are lucky enough to see the odd moose, bear etc right by the lake.
Absolutely Fantastic ice 🎣 adventure Rod & Linda 😊👍👏👍👏. Those were some fabulous fish 👍👍, plus some hilarious moments 😀. I miss living in 🇨🇦 😢. As they is nowhere to go ice 🎣 in England, rules & regulations don't allow it. Linda looked Absolutely awesome in her pink fishing suit 😊.
That upcoming ability to rent gear at the Lodge would make a difference for me. I’m always amazed to see what you bring for these ice adventures! I can’t help but add up the cost of auger, shelter, sled, rods, tip-ups, and, of course, the fish finder! 💵💸💰
Yeah this has been a 10 year learning process started in 2015 and each year we're just adding more "necessities" to that sled. 🤣 I think to start ou with, the rod/reel, auger, scoop, terminal tackle, bait and chair are all you need to go ice fishing. To TRY to consistently catch fish on the ice, the other gadgets start coming in. The sounder would be the next important asset if you are fishing in water that is deeper than 6ft. A tent would block the wind and keep you warm, but more importantly, block out light so you can sight fish in shallow water. Beyond that, it's just comfort stuff, a propane heater, mats so you don't get wet when kneeling down. Some people advance to a live underwater camera and livescope to see fish biting realtime on the screen, but for the time being I am kind of drawing the line at the sounder for myself because I feel like there has to be some mystery hidden when I fish.
If a person was staying at the provincial park in the spring, could a boat navigate its way to the little lake? or is the channel too small to run a small boat through it?
Yes and no. The channel is wide enough, and although shallow, you can easily bring a boat through it. That said, a beaver helped itself and built a dam over it last summer so blocked the passage! Most likely it'll be removed, I just don't have an update yet.
I’m hoping to Ice fish there in a couple of weeks!! In the spring you should check out hatthume lake my favourite fly fishing lake with massive penask rainbow trout! Just up the connecter in the okanogan!
Currently this winter those are not available at the resort, which just reopened this past spring with new ownership so they are just in the process of getting more stuff going. Next winter, the resort plans to collaborate with Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC (GoFishBC), which has a ice fishing rod/reel/auger loan program. Once that's set up, both guests and visitors would be able to borrow gear at the resort to fish the lake. Updates will be on Facebook and Instagram when this goes ahead.
We were using barbed hooks actually. These jig hooks are tiny, size 10 or 12 I think, the shank is pretty thin so fish in this size range can pop off pretty easily.
It was 7 fish that day in the end between two anglers actually, and that's not for you to decide but the regulations. It's a put and take lake stocked with triploid fish which do not contribute to the recruitment of the population. They are meant to be caught, kept and enjoyed by licecnsed anglers. With 10,000 fish planted into the lake annually, this generous daily limit ensures that the quality of the fish is maintained. If retention rate declines, you'd end up with a lot smaller and skinnier fish at the current stock rate.
I don't mind average trout as long as they are legal size they fun for children if you can find them and they all eat the same. Wish we had more trout lakes in the area of Michigan i live in lots of trout streams and lake Michigan. Enjoy your videos rod very informative on technique.
The lakes around here don't have a minimum length for trout retention but generally it's so productive that we get to pick and choose. 16" - 18" is definitely the size range I like to keep for eating. Bigger fish usually go back so others have a chance to enjoy them too.
Wrong. Gluttony is just that. It is for me or any person to decide. 5 fish is too much - regardless of how manipulated the lake is with sterile fish. Whoever heard of such wrong intervention by mankind.
lol... Well, feel free to stay upset over nothing. We'll continue to enjoy a well managed fishery where apparently you're lacking in your region since you think 5 fish per angler per day is too much. 😉

This made me want to cancel my trip to Mexico and go ice fishing instead! So much fun!
You don't have to lie to make me feel better you know? 🤣
😂
Great video! Did you prepare the shrimp yourself or buy them?
They're store bought shrimp, cut into tiny pieces, then mixed with Pautzke Bait's red Fire Cure for colour and firmness.

@@FishingwithRod Thank you

Yep Hatheume is on the to-do list! There are too many places....
@ yes way to many places to fish in bc
Can some of the gear (augers, rod/reels, holders, tent) be rented from the resort or do we bring our own gear?

hello Rod, what kind of spoon are you using? is it a casting spoon? how heavy is it? I have tried flashers for kokanee but they are to big.
That is a Prime Lure Glory spoon.
Wait are you guys using barbless hooks?! Why are they always popping off?
We were using barbed hooks actually. These jig hooks are tiny, size 10 or 12 I think, the shank is pretty thin so fish in this size range can pop off pretty easily.
I could only imagine how tasty that fish is. 😅
They were pretty good!
Taking 5 fish is gluttony. Too much.

Stop name dropping
Nah.

Imagine not knowing that the modern technology called "refrigeration" exists
