You were really fishing shallow, Patrick.
Guess a few people mentioned Hihium. One thing about that lake is it's also a pretty
lake. I've fished some others that were fishy.. but not pretty.
There's others between Logan Lake and Kamloops. Dairy and Duffy. Dairy is reputed to
be a "sedge" lake. I fished it last July on my week long trip and had good luck with
shiny chironimids. Of course, that trip, I had good luck on every lake with "shiny
chironimids". I did my best on Hihium on chronies.. but the slinging of large Tom
Thumbs was real fun. We had them tied on size 6 to 10 3xl hooks and the trout made a
nice sized swirl going after those flies.
