HI HIUM LAKE FISHING RESORT

(250) 459-2306

Fishing at Hi Hium Lake for quality Kamloops Rainbow trout is consistently good throughout the season (from mid-May until September 30), depending on whatever the fish decide, with some days better than others. The lake is especially suited to fly fishing with many weed beds and shoals to attract fly fishermen of all degrees and skill. Plenty of open water also makes the lake highly suitable to other types of tackle - "flatfish", trolling gear, and various small types of fly rod lures. Fishing is restricted to artificial lures and single barbless hooks only.

Tunkwa, Leighton, and Hihium Lakes

Pacific Angler reports that "the temperatures are dropping down to 3-5 degrees at night, which produces good hatches as the day unfolds. Great reports are pouring in from Tunkwa, Leighton and Hihium lakes. The chironomid hatches are intense during the day at 20 to 15 feet deep. Fly fisherman are catching up to 30 fish in a few hours and then switching to leeches in the evening. It is just a matter of time until the fall fishing lakes start." http://pacificangler.ca/blog/
