Biggest rainbow I ever caught was off a dock (near Kamloops). It was estimated at 14lbs. On a bobber and worm!! I was actually away hunting and had brought an ultralight spinning rod and a few worms hoping to maybe catch dinner one night. It was a male and very coloured, then I caught a hen off the same dock that was around 7lbs. We must have hit a magical time because those 2 days we tried fishing in the afternoon just before the late day hunt and probably caught a dozen real nice fish, rainbows and brookies all off that same 12 feet of dock. I have proof if you want/need to see it ;-)...

@@FishingwithRod umm thinking maybe Swan lake and/or Gardom lake? Am staying with son’s family at Coldstream…. But he doesn’t fish... :( Might just do a day trip…. Weather dependent. At end of this week we are house sitting in Vancouver for 4 weeks (will try some lakes near Coquitlam) and then back to Okanagen late June. Happy to just try shore based fishing…. We have a rental car though.
@FishingwithRod

Ah ok. So I'm not sure how much shore fishing is available at both Swan and Gardom Lake because they both don't have a fishing dock. There are more options along the shorelines at Shannon Lake in West Kelowna, and you can catch trout and bass in it. You can also try the shoreline of Wood Lake and Kalamalka Lake where you can catch pikeminnows and whitefish, and even trout from shore. When you're in Vancouver, if you are in a road trip mood, you could drive east to a few lakes in the Fraser Valley that are quite scenic. Hicks Lake at Sasquatch Provincial Park is really nice, but just watch out the last 1km of drive to the lake is on a bumpier gravel road. Cultus Lake is a popular lake for families in Chilliwack, we often go there to catch pikeminnow, cutthroat trout, smallmouth bass from shore. You should take a look at Rice Lake in North Vancouver, it's a nice walk through the forest to the lake. You should also visit the Capilano River Hatchery because right now there are lots of coho salmon returning to it. I got many other suggestions so feel free to ask me whenever you need some. ☺️

@@FishingwithRod Excellent -appreciate the advice. It’s fun to explore. My son’s neighbour kindly took me out today in his boat to Swan Lake. Using a trolling technique at a very slow speed we caught 2 good size Pikeminnow (Sqawfish?) which we tossed back, two good size rainbow trout, dropped two of the same and I particularly enjoyed the scenery and lovely weather. Lucky me ☺️

Floating docks are great for wheelchair users, but unfortunately the pathway to the dock is not always accessible. It's too bad the Fisheries Society doesn't always take this into consideration. It would be great if you could show the pathway as well to determine things like steepness, width, and terrain. Still an information video. Thanks!

Definitely Vince. Lots of people have brought up concerns on accessibility by wheel chair anglers, so I'm sure this will be taken into consideration a lot more for future dock installations.

Awesome vid Rod as always! Can you share some tips on bottom fishing these lakes? What depth were you fishing to get bites? Moreover how to tell if I’m fishing at the right depth and knowing whether or not your bait is just hanging out within the weeds?
@FishingwithRod
2 жыл бұрын
I don't have any particular tip on how to fish the bottom setup really. How deep you should be fishing depends on the time of the year (shallow in early spring, and in the fall. Deeper in late spring, and summer). In the video, we simple cast as far as we could. It's basically fishing blindly. If there are no bites after awhile, most likely you're at the wrong depth so start casting closer or further from the dock.

Very few options are available here in BC unfortunately. The old Shimano 11'6" Clarus centerpin rod can be considered one and you can just throw a spinning reel on there. The next best option is to have one built from a fly fishing rod blank.

Just about all of the lakes in this region produce big fish. It just comes down to whether you can access them from shore. With the floating dock, it improves those chances by a lot.
