Kootenays

[Groovy]

I am new to the Province of British Columbia and I will be travelling to the Kootenays in August. I would like to know what are the premier fishing spots that I should not miss. I will be bring both spin and fly rods and I would like to catch trout(esp. the gerrad), Koknee and white fish. Any info would be appreciated.
Cheers

If you'll be fishing in a boat try Arrow Lake in Castlegar. There is a beautiful camping area beside the lake called Syringa Creek Park.

Check-out these books it will provide you with excellent information and resources about the Kootenays; "Backroad Mapbook Volume IV The Kootenays" and "BC Fishing Freshwater Directory & Atlas". Good luck.

The Columbia River is on fire right now. Try (if fly fishing) using emerging caddis and or black ant patterns. If off shore casting, use the same with a float and put a pink maggot on the end of the fly hook. You can catch hard fighting Rainbows in the 1-5 lb range, with the occasional big boy 6-15 available.
