Ya, look for 100' and jig away, when you see the trout, real up fast and she'll hit it.

25-30lb test about 300 feet of it, 20lb floro or mono leader, smelts/minnows. Cold Lake specials from WSS. At least a med/hev action rod, preferably heavy. Lots of snow you'll need 4WD and good tires.

Access at the provincial park. Cant really tell you if its safe to drive on or not as I havent been there in over a month. Punch a couple test holes before you get too far!

Anyone been there recently,just would be bad to drive all that way and not be able to get on with the truck

you can drive on with your truck. there's some beaten paths you can follow to some fishing spots. don't go too far off the paths unless you like getting stuck

Anyone know of a good spot for firewood close to the launch? Staying up there 3 nights and don't want to have to bring too much with me
