Spring has Arrived!

This incredibly mild weather in the Kamloops area has now taken the ice off 2 of our local, low elevation lakes.  Both Six Mile and Morgan lakes are ice free.  These lakes did not become ice free last year until the first week of April!!  With the new regulations of “no ice fishing” both lakes are now fishable.  This has caught me and I’m sure most anglers off guard as I am still in winter skiing mode.

I’ll be at the BC Boat and Sportsman’s Show this coming weekend (March 5-7).  This big outdoor event is held at the Tradex complex in Abbotsford, BC.  There will be lots of fly fishing booths including reps from the major manufacturers as well as a good representation from the local fly shops.  I will be giving seminars on stillwater fly fishing on all 3 days as well as doing tying demonstrations on Friday and Saturday.  I’ll also be hanging out at the Sage, Rio and BC Outdoors Magazine booths during time off.  This is always a fun weekend with lots of fly fishing talk about the upcoming season which is definitely arriving sooner than later.  Hope to see you there,

cheers,

Brian
