TROUT CREEK 



This creek is a few miles further east of Osprey Lake. It 

 is full of small mountain trout. They seldom exceed seven or 

 eight inches in length ibut are extremely game and will take 

 the fly freely. 



THE KETTLE RIVER 



This is a beautiful trout stream. The main river rises in 

 a valley to the east of the Okanagan and flows due south to 

 Rock Creek, which is on the Kettle Valley Line. At this point 

 there is an hotel. From Rock Creek the river runs east to 

 Midway, then dips south into the United States but again turns 

 back into this Province at Grand Forks. Both Midway and 

 Grand Forks are on the Kettle Valley Line and have hotels. 



The best fishing at present is above Rock Creek, as this 

 part of the river has not been fished, but all of the stream is 

 worth fishing from the time the water clears in July until well 

 on in September. A few fish can often be taken in spring, just 

 before the freshets start. It is a fly fishing stream entirely. 



Use the March Brown, Black Gnat, Royal Coachman, 

 Hardy's Favourite, Zulu and Grouse and Claret; also the Stone 

 Fly in late June and early July. 



BOUNDARY CREEK 



This is a beautiful little creek for a fly fisherman. The 

 creek is small but it holds good trout, some going up to two 

 pounds in weight. 



The creek runs from Long Lake, through Greenwood into 

 the Kettle River at Midway. The best water is above Green- 

 wood. 



Greenwood has a couple of hotels and has a branch of the 

 Kettle Valley line running into it. 



Flies the same as for the Kettle River. 



LONG LAKE 



This is a good big lake of great depth. It is a few miles 

 from Greenwood. It contains very big trout, fish up to six- 

 teen pounds have been taken by trolling. It is too deep for fly 

 fishing. 



CHRISTINA LAKE 



This lake is on the Kettle Valley line. The outlet to the 

 lake is at Cascade, which is only a short drive for a car from 

 Grand Forks. Boats can be obtained at Cascade. 



The lake is quite a size, over ten miles long. It used to be 

 noted for its big trout, which were taken by trolling, but of
