No Host Outing: This outing has been arranged with the Rock Island Fish Camp. All food and lodging is being supplied. We have told them that we will have a maximum of 12 people. The cost is $900 (US) and must be paid at the time of registration. If you sign up and need to cancel you must cancel no later than 45 days before the start of the trip unless you can get somebody to take your place. You may be able to carpool with other members. Much of the information on their website is reproduced below. There are other members who have been there before including Wytold Lebing, Peter Maunsell and Peter Rubenstein.
The Lakes:
Rock Island Lake is located on B.C.'s famed Nehalliston Plateau. Elevation - 4,200 ft. Some of our walk-in lakes are 5,000 ft. - 5,500 ft. The lakes vary in depth from deep volcanic holes to shallow beaver dams. They differ in water, from clear to marl bottoms, to dark tea colored lily pad ponds.
Most of the lakes have boats on them, but there are some remote walk-in lakes that are only float-tube fishable. Take your tube and enjoy the day. There are also four lakes that are easily accessed from camp, within a fifteen minute walk or short row. Most of our outer lakes are road accessible, some with a drive and walk.
The Fish:
All the lakes have only one species "The Famous Wild Kamloops Trout". You have to hook one to know why they are called Wild. They will dance for you! There are no coarse fish in the lakes. The trout range from pan size to ... ? There is a good selection of flies that work on the Rock Island Lake at the lodge
