Guided fly fishing excursions to the pristine lakes, rivers and oceans of Vancouver Island
Second time on Horne Lake
January 16, A very bright sunny day, no wind in the south western bay of Horne Lake. The water temperature was 43 F and the air was 5 C. First time fishing this part of the lake and I was very surprized at the numbers of fish showing up on the fish finder. At the very end of the lake there is two fairly respectable creeks flowing into the lake and three minor ones. As expected the fish were holding up at the creek mouths. What I had not expected was the amount of large fish all ready holding up among the dead heads at the creek mouths. There were more fish over 4 pounds showing on the fish finder than I have ever seen in one area. Even though it was a little chilly it was a great afternoon for fly fishing as I landed 3 cutthroats between 14 and 18 inches. I had a great day on the water and I looking forward for more days on the lake.
