We will be pampered in a 4700 square foot, two story lodge with 3000 square foot deck overlooking the lake.  The lodge is close to Lytton, BC approximately 3 and 1/2 hours away from out Surrey store.

Starting Friday afternoon and running through to Monday afternoon.

Wild rainbows. . .anyone that has had the opportunity to fish Ruddocks know that these fish fight hard!  Smaller ones give a 10+ acrobatic performance across the surface while the big ones pull hard so be ready! (We usually find a couple of rods in the lake in the fall from fisherman not paying attention).  The food is abundant in the lake and the fish can grow fast – up to 2 lbs. a year. Bring with you: micro leach, olive damsels, bead head leach, pumpkin heads, chronomids: copper head, snow cone and red rib copper head to name a few.

IMPORTANT!   Electric motors only, no gas motors allowed.  Fly fishing only, catch and release, barbless hooks, use fish friendly nets (nets available for rent).  Please handle fish with care, keep them in the water and release them once they have had time to recover.  Please ensure you have a fishing license.
