Going to be fishing Sheridan lk in a week or so Wandering if there is any tips on spots Thnks

Sheridan Lake is well known for its sedge hatch. During this hatch, usually between mid-June and mid-July, the fishing can be spectacular. Dave and Becky Carswell from Sheridan Lake Resort report that “the last few years, around the beginning of June to the third week in June, has been exceptional, and if you have the right color chroni you will have success.” Right from ice-off, the Carswells say that trolling a leech is an excellent choice. “Try black with a little red, olive with a little red, and later on we switch to lures such as Lyman plugs or jointed j-7 Rapalas.” Trollers should use a lead line or sinking fly line with long leaders. Sheridan Lake is frequently stocked with rainbow trout using several strains of fish. This extensive stocking program helps sustain a trophy trout fishery in Sheridan Lake. Rainbow trout more than 10 pounds are caught regularly, with some anglers sharing stories of rainbows over 20 pounds. Keep an eye out for the spring Fly Fishing Championships, hosted by the BC Fishing Resorts Outfitters. LAKE ACCESS From 100 Mile House, follow Highway 97 south to Highway 24 and turn left (east). Continue to the town of Sheridan Lake, about 30 kilometres to Sheridan Centre at the northwest corner of the lake. There are several accommodation options around the lake, including Sheridan Lake Resort. See www.sheridanlakeresort.com for more information.

Thomas Point (launch)

A family affair at Sheridan Lake with fishing a priority, with fun and smiles.

Just got back today from the lake and no one was really getting any..Also the men in the cabin next door said some of the trout they did get had worm/parasites. Not sure if anyone noticed this with their catch...they said these were caught in about 90 ft. It was very cold and windy when we were there...Would be very interested to know if anyone else caught sick fish.

Wondering if there are any prospects for dock or shore fishing in the eastern part of the lake? My two boys want to fish and dont care what they catch. Time will be August.

Downrigger

Does anyone use a Downrigger anywhere on Sheridan?

Boat launch. Shallow water not for anything much bigger than a car topper.

I'll be there on Friday!!!

I can't wait to get there. I've heard so many great things about this lake. I'm a total noob, so I don't really know where to fish on this lake. Any advice on where, how, and with what would be greatly appreciated.
