ROD & CREEL 89 



to three pounds with the chance of an occasional steelhead in 

 the spring. This creek is also very much affected by freshets 

 and is seldom in fishing condition from the end of June until 

 September. 



The best flies are March Brown, Royal Coachman, Jock 

 Scott, Silver Doctor and Red Zulu. 



ANDERSON LAKE 



Anderson Lake is some sixteen miles long. This lake is 

 eighty-six miles from Sqnamish. There is a very nice little 

 lodge situated at D'Arcy where you can obtain rooms or sleep 

 in tents. You are now on the edge of the Dry Belt, in a more 

 bracing climate, an excellent change for those wanting a change 

 from the coast. 



The fishing in the immediate vicinity almost entirely con- 

 sists of trolling, fish of three and four pounds being taken by 

 this method. From this point you can get pack and saddle 

 horses and go in to the Little Black water River or Birkenhead 

 Lake where splendid trout of all sizes can be caught either with 

 fly or bait. Up to the present this stream has been but little 

 fished, and whenever the water is fishable good sport is assured. 

 The early spring and late winter months afford the best lake 

 fishing. August and September for the Blackwater. 



BLACKWATER LAKE 



This is a splendid lake for fishing as there are trout of all 

 sizes which can be caught by trolling or by the fly. 



There is no accommodation at the lake, the nearest being 

 at D'Arcy, some seven miles away. There is a good trail to the 

 lake for pack horses. 



It makes an ideal place for a week's camping. 



Use the same flies as for Alta Lake, some of which should 

 be of larger size. 



This lake is good pretty well all summer. 



SEATON LAKE 



This lake is eighteen miles long and is one hundred miles 

 from Squamish and three and a half from Lillooet, where there 

 are two hotels. There is also accommodation at Craig's Camp 

 between the lake and the station. 



The lake is famous for its land-locked steelheads, the fish 

 running anywhere from ten pounds up to twenty-five pounds. 

 They can only be caught by trolling from fall months until 

 spring, the best time probably being from the end of February 

 to the middle of April.
