Multi Western Canada Ride

[Rayger143]

I am starting a thread to see how much interest there would be for members to come north of the border for a ride. I am located in the Okanagan Valley in a small town between Kelowna and Vernon BC called Winfield. I know the area like the back of my hand around here and would be willing to take a group out. Combination of Forest Service Roads and trails. It is a long way to travel for most members but if there is enough interest we could explore the idea of riding somewhere else in BC with a lot more scenery and history on the trails. One day trips or 3-5 day treks? @rickoshea has mentioned a few ideas that sound very interesting. @Montecresto and @crewcabrob seem to be interested and I know that @CumminsPusher and @lowrider are not too far south. I am attaching a couple links of ideas. If there is interest we will probably plan for next July or August.

This sounds great, but it would be a four week ordeal for me, maybe when I retire.

I’d definitely consider it if the off chance that the Covid card isn’t still required

Yep, as we’ve been talking about it, you know we’re in. Traveling the distance, I’d be most interested in a week long adventure. And CP, we’d be talking a year out, so CV19 shouldn’t be an issue, but if it were of course that would be a non starter…..

That does look like a good time. Wife says she’d be down too

Well that’s good, lord knows what kind of mischief you’d get into in another country by yourself…..😂😂😂

Yes Sir...I plan to be back in one piece by then and that gives me lots of time to brush up on my Canadian accent...eh! This is all Crown land? Any fishing up there?

All crown land. Nothing but lakes with rainbow trout.

Big rainbows?? I suppose they would hit flies or spinners.

We're getting lots of smoke from BC fires...you folks need rain too!! We're chasing Kokanee this weekend and throw them in the smoker for awhile. Kinda late but it might mean they will be bigger.

 

[Rayger143]

Rainbows aren’t as big as they were years ago. Lucky to get one in mountain lks at 3lbs but they are plentiful and fun on a fly rod. A lot bigger in the larger lakes in the valley bottom as well as kokanee and big lake trout. So smoky here you could probably smoke your fish on the clothesline.

That's funny but sad.

 

[rickoshea]

i can help you out with big rainbows.i've fished most of the lakes in the province.the trick is to fish the lakes stocked with af3n's.

 

[Rayger143]

I think most of the lakes in the province are in your back yard lol. af3n?

Any idea what fishing regs are for foreigners…?

 

[rickoshea]

Any idea what fishing regs are for foreigners…?

just need a temp. non resident licence. on line or at most tackle/sporting goods shops.easy peasy.standard retention regs apply.

af3n's are sterilised female fish.they don't reproduce so all they do is feed and get huuuuge.

up at my place the lake is so warm right now that the rainbows aren't hitting much but the kokanees are slamming anything that moves.

Pretty much same here. If it works out #1 son is taking copilot and I out for Kok's tomorrow unless it's as hot and smoky as today then that gets pushed back for good weather. Poor guy is required to work for a living. How big are the lake trout (Macks) in your lake Rick? Should we bring a boat?

Is he going to do the casting and reeling in the Kok’s for ya…..
