Fishing has been very good to excellent since the last report! Anglers putting in the time are being rewarded with good catches, with some nice sized rainbows in the mix. We had a guest catch a 7lb-3oz rainbow this weekend, which is the biggest we've seen so far this year out of Tunkwa! Lots of fish going through the cleaning table, and most are full of large dark coloured chironomids. There are lots of large 'Bomber' sized chironomids hatching on the lake surface, and big trout can be seen slurping them off the top.Guests fishing size 10 or 12-long chironomids, set less then a foot off the bottom, in areas of hatches, are doing well. Better chironie patterns have been the 'anti-static' bag with red or brown rib, 'Christmas Tree', Maroon/silver rib, KD's or Black Electra's. Besides the chironomid anglers, everyone is hooking up. Trolling black Wooly-Buggers, K-Marts and PumkinHeads are producing. Guest fishing worms on slip floats, or just off the bottom, with a marsh-mellow, or chunk of PowerBait, to float it, are doing very well, we are seeing lots and lots of trout being caught, and lots of happy guests. Believe it or not, mid-August is some of the best fishing of the year!
