With enthusiasm to spare Andre will instruct you throughout the day on how to cast and retrieve your fly, different stripping techniques, and fly selection.

Your guides, Jason and Derek Jakubec will help remove the mystery behind reading a lake the same way you would read a river. You will learn how to read the contours and structure of a lake bottom or the shoals that can provide explosive and exciting shallow water fishing. Learn how to tie the perfect leader or identify the ideal depth to suspend your chironomid, then be ready for the frantic grab of your fly-rod as your strike indicator darts under the lake surface! Maybe the conditions will call for an accurate cast into the shallows and a slow hand retrieve leading to headshakes of the big one climbing on! Be sure of one thing, there is no shortage of action. Jason and Derek will help you match the hatch and put you in the zone for big trout and big number days. With over 20 years? experience of freshwater fishing knowledge throughout interior British Columbia, Jason and Derek, have the skills to guide you to the fish of a lifetime.
