I had a buddy from Minnesota. Most fisherman looked at bass like a "garbage fish." Like we would look at a squaw fish, and we know what we do to them when there caught........chum.

Dipsnort,
I believe you to the fullest extent. It is like going to school with salmon biologists!

Ok, I confess. When I first started bass fishing a couple of years ago I kept a couple and fried 'em up. And yes, they tasted really good.
And by the way, if you don't think most B.C. Canadians hate bass with a passion, you haven't been around many of them very long. They feel more strongly about bass than bass fishermen feel about "slimers". Trust me! I consider myself somewhat of an "ambassador" in that crowd.

Hey dipsnort, your not supposed to tell them bass taste fantastic, don't give them any ideas . That lake sounds like a gem, it sure is far for just a day trip.

You're in luck, Russ. I posed the question on my favorite B.C. "slimer forum" and got a few responses.

A couple of years ago I was talking to a fellow who used to do a little guiding in his spare time and he raved about Spider Lake.
He said that you will be the only person fishing for Bass on the lake, especially after labor day, and the Smallies are very cooperative.
Good Luck

I did a Google Search and came up with: http://www.britishcolumbia.com/ParksAndTrails/Parks/details/?ID=409 One report said Smallies up to 6. They barely know what a treasure they have...like Washington about 30 years ago. These appear to be mostly electric only lakes, so I'm taking my canoe. Cheaper to get on the island, too.

Give me a hint as to where in B.C. it is, and I'll let you know!

Has anyone ever fished spider lake in B.C.? Here it has a ton of 4-6lb smallies in it. RB
