Just before spring runoff every year a few of us try and hit the Arrow Lakes in central B.C. This year was no exception. Sherm,Greg and myself all showed up at the Shelter Bay campsite and boat launch on Thursday. After a brief visit the 2 boats were launched, Sherm and Greg in Sherm's, me in mine. Instead of going into a long story of how beautiful the weather was I am just detailing what was caught and what I caught them on. We did get blown off the lake on Sunday and had tough fishing because of fluctuating water levels as BC Hydro tried to stay ahead of the flood waters pouring into the Columbia River basin. It is always fun to get out there and chase them!
