> Interesting report on Hihium, Tunkwa and Pasca lakes.

> I've never fished there at this time of year so would

> I have a little mini-motorhome: 20' on a Nissan pickup

> home back across the Rockies coming from Kansas!!)

> Question: is it possible for me to drive it into

> camp as I am self-contained? Its been a long time and
> I was brought into the lake by truck by Pat

> Is Roche lake a good destination at this time? What

> Where is Pasca Lake? I don't remember seeing it on a
> map. Report said it was by Merritt.
> I will have an inflatable boat as well as float tube.
> Any suggestions about destinations, flies, unimproved
> campgrounds, RV campgrounds with hookups (my wife is
> going along and we might like that), "secret lakes"
> you would entrust to all of us!!,etc.
> This is a long query but it is much more important
