Rainbow Trout

Flies for Sale, Yellow Lake BC

We were out yesterday for a drive to Keremeos for the scenery, and some more famous Gala apples, when on the way we came across some fishermen at Yellow Lake. It actually was Green. They were fishing for Rainbow Trout. Another name is Steelhead Trout, which after two or three years in the Pacific Ocean return to spawn in the rivers and lakes. There are also Brown Trout. Some people were casting, others fly-fishing. It made for a pleasant stop and interesting conversations. One chap makes his own flies and sells them as can be seen on the sign on his chair!
