Lakes
Sapeye
Lake Sapeye Lake, located almost immediately across
the road from Horn has a BCFS campsite on it's north end. Caution:
the road is not suitable for trailers, as there is no turn
around. An excellent fly-only lake with wild stock rainbows averaging
3 lbs. (with many going much larger). Bull trout up to 6 lbs.
are not unusual. A very pretty lake with mountian views.
Bluff
Lake Bluff Lake, just a couple of kms. south of Sapeye,
is another great lake. With Bull trout to 10 lbs. and rainbows
in the 2 to 3 lb. range, Bluff is a consistent producer. There
is a small day-use BCFS recreation site which offers an outstanding
mountain viewscape besides the great fishing in the area.
Note:
Always check your current BC Fishing regulations before you start
fishing a new lake.
