134 ROD & CREEL 



KASLO 



This town is situated pretty well up towards the head of 

 Kootenay Lake. It is beautifully situated, has good hotels and 

 is altogether a delightful place to visit. 



You can get there by C. P. R. steamer from Nelson or by 

 railway from Nakusp 011 the Arrow Lakes. 



This place is by far the best locality for trolling for steel- 

 heads. You can fish at the same time as at Proctor, but the 

 water is clear longer than at that place. 



Some rainbows can be caught in the lake close to town, but 

 the best fly fishing is across the lake at French Creek. 



FRENCH CREEK 



This is the most famous place on Kootenay Lake for the 

 fly fisherman. 



To get there you cross the lake some six or seven miles by 

 rowboat or launch from Kaslo, which is the nearest place there 

 is any accommodation. 



To fish there it is best to camp out for a few days. There 

 is a most beautiful camping site, one of the most charming 

 places on the lake. 



All the fly fishing is in the lake itself, just where the creek 

 runs in. The creek only contains very small fish. 



Use the same flies as for Slocan Pool.
