Fishing
Report: Managed as a quality lake Jimmy is blessed with
good quantities of aquatic insects and can provide the fly fisherman
early spring Chironomid, Mayfly and Dragonfly hatches along with
good dry fly action during the mid-June to early July Caddisfly
hatch. Rainbows will reach 6 lbs. or better but be patient. Regulations
stipulate that there is no fishing between Dec. 1 - April 30, with
a single barbless hook, bait ban, and only 1 fish can be kept per
day with none under 50 cm. (20 in.) thereby ensuring that there
will be large fish left in the lake. This is an excellent lake and
it must be kept that way by practicing catch and release. Be sure to visit Fishbc.com
for angling information!
