Lol, good question. If your fishing from a boat, then use a wedding band with a worm, and definitly use a small spoon/worm. I had used a bigger spoon there once and had many bites but couldnt land em due to the size of the spoon. If your fishn from the dock then I see people use plain hooks with powerbait with a bobber and its about 3 feet from hook.
Good Luck

Dude, I just told you what to use. Use a wedding band and a piece of worm on the end. AND buy a small red/white spoon about the size of a loonie. Put a little worm on the spoon too. Throw on about 2 or 3 split-shots to get your lure out far and semi deep. Those trout like to follow lures from the deeper water and they will follow the lure for a little while before striking. Just jerk your rod (lol no punn intended) a bit to piss em off. GOOD LUCK MATE

About ten years ago I saw some fellows fishing from the shore of Sasamat(SouthWest point). They had three 4lb rainbows laying on the ground. I could never lad one in my inflatable. Just a nice rigourous tow for a few minutes and out pops my Werner Shrimp fly.
Buntzen - I catch mostly large white fish for some reason. Awsome tasting but too many bones.
Both lakes are way to public for my liking (in the summer anyway). And they close way too early. I like to fish into the twilight.

Went to buntzen today and got one in the boat and lost 5 and had too many bits to count. We were using flatfish with nothing on them. The orange one produced more but the green abd the blak ones had some action to. We would paddle around in front of the docks and the dog beach and when we saw them sureface we would cast right by them and get a bit every cast. It was much fun and were thinking about going again tomorrow.

Caught this rainbow at Buntzen today trolling the flyrod. Used sinking line and a yellow bug pattern. Got him in about 25' water close to the dock.

Buntzen Lake was good today. Droped line around 11:00am and trolled around the the first Island and the second. No bites for about a hour in, then started to land some fish. First trout was about 10". Was caught with same fly as abouve and released. About a half hour later caught another rainbow about the same size, released. At this point I changed flies to a leech pattern and trolled again. Within 10min landed a keeper.
About 5 or so guys out there tryn there luck float tubing. Seen one guy land a rainbow as well. Its picking up!
cheers

Went to Buntzen yesterday afternoon. (mar,25, saturday) and trolled a orange flatfish. Caught one the same size as save-on-fish. However while I was playing another fish my knot came undone and I lost the fish and my lure. I swiched to a red wedding band with a worm and got some bits but didn't land another one.
P.S. we released the one we caught for others to catch.

i went to buntzen with my friends and we were just casting off the dock and caught suckers.
actually if you have a small kid then take him and cast a worm off the dock and retrieve a worm semi slowly with a small hook and just use split shots.
I had some fun with my buds and I caught 18 fish!
although they were all small a fish is a fish.
oh ya and has anyone nailed some cutties.
cause i think i could try for one.

dropped into buntzen yesterday at around 5:30pm.
right off the bat while trolling around the island got a big hit then nothing for around an hour. after that I caught a tiny sucker and that was it. saw many rises but nothing bit. I used a blue fox spinner with a worm and trolled around 5-20 feet deep.(I changed my weight a couple times). I ve been to buntzen about 4 times now and I havent caught 1 rainbow

Last time I went to Buntzen we were trolling for about 5 minutes, then I got a big hit and landed a 13-14 inch rainbow. I was trolling a orange flatfish (smallest size they have) Then we got nothing. They started to jump in big groups for about 1 minute and then pop up somewhere esle 5 minutes latter. So when they would jump I would cast my orange flat fish into the middle and let it sink some then reel in. About 5 seconds latter there would be a hit. We did this about 5 times and every time there was a hit. They were about 11-12 inches long. But when I was reeling in one it snapped my 3 pound test and I switched to a red wedding band with a worm and got a couple more hits but didnt land any. That was the most prductive day of fishing at Buntzen that Ive ever had.

how deep aprox do you troll?
|

We trolled from a canoe and close to shore and only had a couple split shots, so about 15 feet deep.

I noticed that they were jumping in groups as well.
Are they like schools of small rainbows or something.
