Would have never thought any place in BC to be semi-desert. But I don't get around much. Took a driving/camping trip out west about 20 years ago and Arizona surprised me then. We camped by Lyman lake in the park there and I never knew Arizona had such a lake until we pulled in. I was just following along with the campground guide. Besides that, as we pulled in a guy was wrestling the biggest Northern Pike I've ever seen - taking it across the road to the Ranger station. I would NEVER have thought to see such in Arizona. The Northern went 25 pounds easily. Pure fishing shock. Now you've given me desert shock. Cool. --Vic |

Where Rudy's talking about is north of there. Google maps shows what the area looks like pretty well with the satellite view. |

"Rudy" wrote in message news:Jdaak.65976$gc5.65449@pd7urf2no... The trouble with this group is...any newcomers interested in boating quickly run off to greener pastures. The ones looking to instigate, agitate and facilitate etc. stay and align themselves with major john and the 7 dwarfs. I'm new here and would like to stay Don but I can't even figure out "where to start" when it comes to KF I'm hoping to get 'brought up to date' with boating info on this NG by those in the know since I've really been out of boating for 20-25 years and just bought a new(to me) boat. The HE SAID, YOU SAID, LOOGY SAID, with TOO LONG snippy messages quoted wholly and repeatedly I can do without. This NG comes a close second to the alt.hvac when it comes to "less than helpful" posts and I hear that one is being shut down...no loss. R I used to recommend going over to 'Chucks Place', but a lot of the Dwarf Army now travels over there to wreck that spot out of petty jealously. Ask your questions, but avoid the garbage threads. Not worth your time. |

.. retired in Arizona for about 5 years but no water in the

But I don't get around much. http://www.hellobc.com/en-CA/SightsA...onOkanagan.htm The "next best" desert to AZ. IMO. Think "Flag" with a 100 mile long lake right there. Its the fastest growing area for the rich & retired to head in Canada for great weather (hot but no humidity to speak of and NO SUMMER BUGS or biters) boating and recreation (and Winter skiing if you stick around) That said, its probably experiencing the fastest growing prices for land, lots and waterfront in Canada..lucky we got in some years back, I couldnt afford to buy my house now. |

Sometimes timing is everything. Same thing happened to me with the house I live in. Same with the first house. Wacky market now. That lake nestled in the mountains is sure pretty. Do you fish? What kind of fish in the lake? --Vic |

house I live in. Same with the first house. Wacky market now. Same thing happened in Tucson AZ in 1998-2003..did well on that one too That lake nestled in the mountains is sure pretty. Do you fish? What kind of fish in the lake? Rainbows 1- 2 ft and Kokanee around 12-16" Vic but there a hundred or so smaller lakes up in the mountains an hour or 3's drive away where the fishing is a lot better. We don't really have those "Eastern" fish ( pike perch bass specks etc) west of the Rockies here. Pretty well just trout: rainbows, some Eastern ? Brook trout, Kokanee and Dolly Varden where we go fishin'. On one lake where a friend has a log home, its not so much a challenge to hook a nice big rainbow but to get it into the boat before a Loon http://www.ns.ec.gc.ca/wildlife/loons/ swims under the boat and steals it off your line ! :-(( |

Don't think I ever ate trout, but heard they are good. Never knew loons did that, but makes perfect sense. I've had gulls go after my minnow when I cast it, but they always missed. My uncle actually had a ten minute tussle with a gull that hooked itself when he cast a minnow. Heard that story often enough. There was the occasional loon where I fished as a kid, and I enjoyed hearing them early in the morning. Don't think they were as pretty as the one in the link, and I think my gramps called them mud ducks, but I might be wrong. Never saw one up close, as they stayed way off from the boat. Last year there was some type of bird that was doing the loon reappearing act off the Sunshine Skyway fishing pier where I was fishing. First time I saw that there. Maybe there's a salt water version. Looked like the loons I'd seen in fresh water. The pelicans on the Skyway piers have a habit of flying low by the pier and snagging themselves on fishing lines. Saw a guy struggling to free one that had snagged his line and he had reeled in. It was tangled mess, and had the hook in it, but he said he would handle it and I moved on. I got the impression it wasn't the first he snagged. Couple times they winged my line but thankfully got loose. One settled down in the water with my line around a wing and as I tightened it a bit he freed himself and took off. That was a relief. Those are big birds with hard beaks. They actually have a few signs on the pier now showing you what to do if you pull one in. --Vic |
