Ok, I have been trying to get in touch with this company for 2 days.. Is there a secret pass code???
I have left multiple messages and a email..
Any hints?

Thoughts on fishing there at the end of July beginning of August?
I was going to take my daughter Salmon fishing but with the closure of the Skeena I am thinking this year may be a bust.

Good luck...

I left 15 messages last year, not a one was returned.

Non existant communication. Lost my business forever, there are other places one can go.

Rods, reels, line, license, lures, clothes, hat, raingear, sunscreen, bug spray, sun glasses. If you're staying at the lodge that pretty much covers the basics.

Dustin, thanks for that. I was actually thinking more along the lines of specific here. Size of lures, types of lures.. do I need a nap?

I can usually fish the whole day without needing a nap.

Len Thompson number 2 spoons in five of diamonds and red devil. Have an assortment of rapalas in different colors and more importantly different depth. Sometimes I'll use spinner rigs like strike king style. If you have a selection of these types of lures, you'll be good. You don't need anything special that you wouldn't use elsewhere.

The lodge will give you a map of the lake. Ask the dock guys to mark the hot spots on the map for you.

But a nap is a great idea as well...

I can talk Salmon fishing all day long.. But fresh water is a fori gun concept to me....
It just didn't make any sense to go to the coast this year with the returns....
So a new adventure awaits me and the kids!!!

Len Thompson, Nickel/Blue - platinum series.

We were up there a few years ago and those seemed to be the lucky ticket then.

I was there last weekend and will X2 what Dustin has said. The pike up there will take spoons or crankbaits without prejudice. My brother used a yellow-red 5 of diamonds without changing it and was hauling them in all day. The boys at the dock will have advice about where to go and yes, nets and lifejackets if you need them. My best advice is be prepared to land and release bigger-than-average pike. By that I mean have the tools to unhook safely and quickly. A good mouth opener and at least an 8" needle nose plier are a definite must have. Have fun & be safe!

Pretty much I would add some good titanium leaders
