Crash Course In Lake Fishing.

I took Susan, out on a small lake in Squamish, called Murrin Lake. It wouldn't have been my first choice but just to give her an idea of what lake fishing was all about I figured it would be the best bet. They had just stocked the lake with some catchable size rainbow trout, and lots of them. We went out in the early evening when it was quiet and not to many people were around. We arrived in the parking lot, and set up all our gear and took the float tubes out, and waders. We were on the lake for about an hour and the bite came on, with Susan starting things off. She caught some nice size trout and she was pretty happy with her efforts. It was the first time that she caught a fish on her 6wt, rod. It was the first time that she had ever been in a float tube, before and she thought it was great kicking around the lake with fins on. What a blast!!.. We ended up staying out on the lake until about 9pm, and then it was time to go. We made plans to go out on another adventure to a couple of lakes up in Pemberton. Ivey and Blackwater were the two choices. We went up on a weekday, so it wouldn't be to crowded and it wasn't. We fished Ivey in the morning, and had no luck at all, I guess the fish weren't hungry or they just weren't interested in anything we had to offer. We fished for four hours and then we came off the lake and had something to eat. Susan had brought all sorts of stuff for us to munch on, salad and cherries and cheese and crackers, it was awesome!!. After about an hour she said what about the other lake?. You mean Blackwater Lake?, and she said yeah that one. So we cruised up there and fished the rest of the evening and we did get alittle action there. She had a found a spot that some fish were jumping around, and she just trolled around with a little green nymph pattern and she caught three. Susan was happy to be out there all day, and so was I it was a great day, and we had lots of fun.. She was great company, and we had a lot of laughs.. Good times.
