Lake of the Day July 19: North Star Lake, BC

North Star Lake is another in a series of popular lakes in the southeastern Kootenay region. As is typical of many other regional lakes, North Star has extensive shoal areas around the shore. North Star Lake has been stocked with several strains of rainbow trout, and most recently with the Blackwater strain. These fighting lunkers can grow to very large sizes inNorth Star Lake, perhaps because of the abundant food in this rich aquatic environment. Blackwater trout are mid- to shallow-water foragers and prefer to feed more often during the day. They are well-suited to North Star Lake, as the deeper sections here are confined to the middle and west areas. The rest of this lake tends to be muddy in places, and shore fishing is difficult. Gear fishers will find their best success with Kwikfish, Gang Trolls and spoons. Nymphs, molluscs and snails are the food of choice early in the spring. As the water warms, going deep is your best bet, even in the mornings and evenings, though occasionally these trout will venture closer to the surface to feed. Because North Star Lake is at a relatively low elevation, fly fishers can start with chironomids as early as mid April. The lake is very clear, and there are some great hatches that can make for great dry fly fishing. Leeches, mayfly nymphs and damselflies can all be useful patterns for North Star Lake. LAKE ACCESS North Star Lake is south of Jaffray. Follow Highway 3/93 to Jaffray, and then south along the Jaffray-Baynes Lake Road for about 5 km until you reach the branch road east to North Star Lake and the recreation site. The site has space for 9 vehicles, along with a small boat launch.
