Trolling bucktails on West Kootenay lakes is a tried-and-true method for catching large Gerard rainbows and bull trout.
We landed two nice rainbow trout chucking lures, and lost one at the boat. Fishing is good, and the trout are feeding on tiny worms and chironomids.
Winter in the West Kootenay means one thing -big fish. Anglers are landing up to 10 fish per day with rainbows up to 11 pounds and bulls up to 14.
Most fish were in the 18-20 inch range, and the biggest was 23 inches. All looked very healthy with really nice colours and big backs.
This report covers four days of fishing with clients from April 24 to April 27. Most trout landed were between 16 and 20 inches.
