Fishing For Bass In The Kootenays
Fishing for Bass in the Kootenays is a popular pastime in this tourist destination area. Warm water lakes such as Wasa Lake and Jim Smith Lake near Cranbrook and Duck Lake near Creston have been producing quality largemouth and smallmouth bass for well over 30 years. BC bass fishing has never been better.
Situated in the south-eastern part of the province the Kootenays about in wildlife and spectacular scenery. It is also a haven for those who stray the normal path of trout fishng and go for the Bronzers! There are plenty of opportunities to go fishing for smallmouth or largemouth in this world renowned wildlife area.
Wasa Lake - East Kootenays: Well known for its warm waters, the Wasa area has become a real family vacation destination. Wasa Lake is not only a good bass fishery but a good perch fishery too. With a well maintained Provincial Park and other private camping / accommodation opportunities it's a great place for the family vacation and to enjoy oppotunities like water skiing, hiking, mountain bike riding, wildlife viewing and for the adventurous - hang-gliding.
Wasa is located about 50 km (30mi) from Cranbrook on Highway 93/95 is also close to the Bavarian Town of Kimberley and Historical Fort Steele.
Fishing for Bass-Kootenays: Jim Smith Lake I think Jim Smith Lake was the first bass fishing lake that I experienced in British Columbia. I wasn't disappointed. Easily accessible from Highway 3 just east of downtown Cranbrook, Jim Smith is a residential lake area and has the good fortune of a Park to enhance your visit.
There are nice sized largemouth bass in here. There are also large rainbow trout to be had. I remember hooking into a nice 6 lb fall rainbow just before dusk after having a successful afternoon using popper lures and plastic worms to stir the souls of the largemouth bass. Check your regulations regarding the power boat restrictions on this lake.
Fishing for Bass-Kootenays: Duck Lake When it comes to numbers and size, Duck Lake is a strong contender for the title of best bass lake in BC.
I fished Duck Lake back in the late 1970's, not long after the beginning development of the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area. Encapsulated within a series of dykes, Duck Lake sits at the south end of Kootenay Lake and adjacent to the Kootenay River. The lake is best accessed from Hwy 3A at Sirdar or from Duck Lake Road at Wyndell. Stop by the local gas station for best access locations.
Duck Lake contains both large and smallmouth bass. The lake is quite shallow creating heavy milfoil vegetation in the lake which provides cover for the bass and the lake is quite shallow. Bass can be caught just about anywhere that the cover is available, including the middle of the lake. Surface lures or flies provide great action as well as shallow underwater techniques. The lake produces largemouth bass up to 10 lbs but the average is going to be about 2 - 3 lbs.
Duck Lake is also part of the Creston Valley Wildlife Management Area, considered a critical international wetland and migration route. There are NO POWER BOATS allowed on the lake, including electric motors. This protects the shoreline areas where the waterfowl breed and nest.
Please fish with caution and consideration. Always check the regulations for openings, closings, limits and special restrictions

Dave Ouellette was an Engineering Tech with Ducks Unlimited Canada for 11 years. While constructing over 200 wetland segement in the Southern Interior of BC, Dave managed to fish almost as many lakes and streams in his travels.

Things To Know About Fly Fishing!
Fly fishing is one of those sports where you get out what you put in.
If you put in a genuine effort you will get lots of fun and excitement from the sport.
Anyone who takes up fly fishing must have patience, be willing to practice their cast and be willing to learn about their chosen sport.
You must be willing to learn new ideas and practice them, but not keep switching from one to another. Anyone doing this will not perfect anything, always changing one idea for another and not allowing to get anything right. The ones with knowledge about their tackle, the place they are fishing at and the fish they are trying to catch will have much more success than those who just turn up not knowing anything of what they are trying to do.
There are more than 10,000 different types of flies and to find the best one for the job can be trial and error. As a rule you use bright flies on a sunny day and dark coloured flies on a cloudy or overcast day.
The green butt skunk fly is mainly black with a bright green piece of yarn, these flies are used a lot for Salmon but also used around the world with good effect.
The jock scott is one of the best flies for most seasons and waters. This delicate fishing fly can take hours to make with lots of different materials involved.
The thunder and lightening is a deep orange, gold, brown and black, perfect for cloudy or dark days and cloudy waters. This is one of the most popular fishing flies for catching salmon today. These are just a few of the most popular fishing flies used but you do not have to stick with these, if you find a fly that works for you then great.
Dry fly fishing is when you cast your fly to a predetermined spot on the water and try to get the fish to attack the fly, but also trying to strike before the fish spits the fly back out.
Wet fly fishing lets the fly sink just under the surface and pass by the fish causing the fish to strike at the fly. The most common fish to catch with a fly are salmon, trout and most fresh water fish.
Below are some of the terms associated with fly fishing which may help you understand?
Pool an area of water where it is fast flowing and entering a deeper pool of water.
It offers good prospects of a variety of fish in the area where the water flows in.
Riffle an area where the fast flowing water is broken up by some solid object in the water, the area just behind the object in the water is often good as insects will settle here and so will the fish.
Dead water is as the name implies, very still with no current and not usually a good place to fish.
Some of the other places to find fish is where there is a shady area or vegetation growing out of the water.

Brodin Ghost Gallatin
This is our new state of the art net bag. It is injection molded from pvc and is clear in color. As you can see, when the net bag is put into water, it becomes translucent and is less likely to spook fish. This net bag is proprietary to us and we have worked hard to develop one that is light in weight. You will find this net a pleasure to use on the stream. Flies, even when fished in tandem will not get stuck in the net. They will also stand out against the clear color so that you can extract them quickly and get back to fishing. We have chosen teak for the handle (there are no options) because of its relatively light weight and durability in water. Specs 24” Overall length 8” by 16.5” Opening Teak handle, four ply bow. Extra re-enforcing strip on the inside of the bow at the yoke. Rubber bags when placed in swift currents produce extra stress on a wood frame and this extra strip will ensure the integrity of the net. • Brodin products are backed by a Brodin Warranty • Free Shipping
