ROD & CREEL 129 



The fish will go from one pound up to three or four pounds. 

 Large flies tied on No. 6 or even No. 4 hooks are considered 

 most taking. The varieties used include Jock Scott, Grouse and 

 Claret, Teal and Red, Parmachene Belle, Cow Dung, Royal 

 Coachman and Silver Doctor. 



LONG LAKE 



This lake is about six miles long and within a short dis- 

 tance of Vernon. The fishing is somewhat similar to Okanagan 

 Lake, except that the fish are smaller. The fly fishing is, how- 

 ever, better. 



DOG LAKE 



This lake is a fine sheet of water about twelve miles long. 

 It is a few miles south of Penticton with a good road for an 

 automobile. 



It contains some fine trout, which run up to eight or ten 

 pounds in weight. Some of these big fish have occasionally 

 been taken on the fly in the summer months. Probably, if they 

 were systematically fished for with the fly, some great sport 

 might be obtained. 



VASEAU LAKE 



This lake is south of Dog Lake and about eighteen miles 

 from Penticton. The road passes right along the shores of the 

 lake, which is about three miles long. The scenery here is 

 alone worth a visit. 



This lake not only contains some good trout, but also num- 

 bers of large mouthed bass, which will take a spoon readily 

 in May and June. 



I have never heard of them being fished for with the fly, 

 though they would probably take it if it were tried. 



OSOYOOS LAKE 



This lake is the last of the Okanagan water in British 

 Columbia as it runs right to the U. S. boundary line. 



It used to contain splendid trout, but of late years it has 

 become full of enormous German Carp which came up from the 

 United States. It is reported that perch are also beginning 

 to make their appearance.
