88 ROD & CREEL 



is a most deadly one from the middle of June to October. 

 Worms must be taken with you as none are procurable there. 

 You can get white grubs locally, and these are good. 



Alpha and Nita Lakes are much the same as Alta Lake 

 only smaller, the fish run about the same size, from one-half 

 pound up to one and one-half pounds, and can be caught dur- 

 ing the same period. 



LOST LAKE 



Lost Lake is the lake of mystery. It is only a quarter of 

 a mile long and yet when you do get a fish it is liable to be a 

 three or four-pounder, and seldom anything under a pound. 

 The trouble with it is that fish will not rise one day out of six. 

 You might fish all day and not move a fish, and then suddenly 

 start catching them as fast as you can land them. For the man 

 of patience who wants really good sporting fish, it is the best 

 of the lot. 



GREEN LAKE 



This is a big lake some 3V 2 miles long with any number 

 of splendid trout in it. It is the farthest away of all the lakes, 

 being an hour's walk from Rainbow Lodge. Boats can be 

 rented there. 



The trouble with this lake is that it is fed by a big glacial 

 stream, which turns the whole lake milky as soon as any really 

 warm weather comes. As a general thing it is fishable until 

 the end of June, but after that does not clear again until late 

 in the fall. 



TWENTY-ONE MILE CREEK 



For those who prefer stream fishing this creek will afford 

 some sport. It is only a few minutes' walk from Alta Lodge. 



GREEN RIVER 



This is a rough, rapid stream running from Green Lake 

 into the Lillooet River. It has a few nice pieces of fishable 

 water close to the lake that are w^ell worth fishing, the rest of 

 the river being far too rough. Unfortunately, like the lake, the 

 water is only clear enough to fish for a couple of months in the 

 year. 



THE BIRKENHEAD 



The Birkenhead is about seventy-six miles from Squamish. 

 A salmon hatchery is situated at Birken, and there is also a 

 store where some accommodation can be had. Below the 

 hatchery for several miles and for a short distance above there 

 is some very good water for the fly fisherman who wishes to 

 get some really good fish, rainbow anywhere from one pound up
