Fishing
Report: Jacko was once legendary for huge fish, it now
produces catches of rainbow up to 4 lbs. Low elevation and hot summers
mean that this lake fishes best during the spring and fall months.
Jacko often rewards fly fishers in the early evening; casting along
the drop-offs close to shore. Leech, and nymph patterns are very
successful. Be sure to visit Fishbc.com
for angling information!
Viewscape:
Located in gentle rolling hills of open range land of sage, bunchgrass
and pine. A beautiful setting especially in the early evenings of
the warm summer months when the sun sets can be spectacular. A great
lake to fish during a full moon.
Shoreline:
Open land gently sloped right to the lakeshore which is rimmed with
tules. The lake bottom consists mostly of black organic matter.
Note:
Always check your current BC Fishing regulations before you start
fishing a new lake.
