Hi All,
I've been a lurker on this forum for a while, but now it's time to pitch few questions.
I'm planning fishing trip for myself and friends who will be flying in on April 30th, staying through May 9th. The short story is that we're looking for recommendations for the best places to fish at that time of year. I should mention that we are conscientious anglers; catch + release, no trash left behind.
The three of us are starting the trip with a sturgeon charter on May 1st, but rest is open ended.
What do forum members recommend for that time of year? We don't have a boat, just float tubes. The preliminary plan is a roadtrip around the Interior doing hike-ins to trout lakes, rivers, and streams. We have spin, medium/heavy casting, and fly setups. Boat rentals are a consideration, we may get a charter for springs and lingcod on the coast towards the end of the trip. We're thinking of doing Chilliwack, through Merritt, Kamloops, Cache Creek, Pemberton, Whistler etc. This is not set in stone, I've had some good days fishing around Wells Gray/Clearwater, we can change the plan and go north, farther west... I'm open to suggestions. Hike-in lakes and rivers are our current target. We have plenty of time, we're open to travel and we'd like to fish as many places and species as possible. Trout, salmon, steelhead, bass, lingcod, halibut...
Where is the best action in early May?
