This outing has been arranged with the Rock Island Fish Camp. All food and lodging is included in the price. We have told them that we will have a maximum of 15 people. The cost is ~$1000 (US). The exact RIFC cost depends on the exchange rate and will be determined in the early summer. A $200 deposit is required at the time of registration. Balance is due no later than 45 days before the start of the trip (July 1, 2024). July 1 is also the cancellation date. Beyond that point there is no refund unless you can get somebody to take your place.  Much of the information on their website is reproduced below. Members who have been there before including Wytold Lebing, Peter Maunsell, Walt Shields, and Peter Rubenstein.

Although this is technically a no host outing, Wytold Lebing will act as coordinator and contact point with the RIFC staff. Generally, people have carpooled with other members. The drive can be done in one day.

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 5 lbs, Fish up to 7 lbs have been caught. There is a good selection of flies that work on the Rock Island Lake at the lodge
