Author	Topic: Spring fishing at Mable lake

Branfish	Posted: 4/21/2017 2:05:38 AM Reply Hey fellow fisherman, I know it has been a late spring here in BC. I'm going to be heading out to Mable lake to try trolling fliea/micro leaches this upcoming Saturday. Was just wondering if anyone has been out fishing there this year yet, and if so how was your luck and what were you using. Thanks all.
cagey	Posted: 4/21/2017 7:32:44 PM Reply No reason for it to be any different than last year. Bucktailing should be good.
Knnn	Posted: 4/23/2017 1:26:05 AM Reply Bucktailing, er WAT? No heard that term before, what does it mean?
prunehands	Posted: 4/23/2017 2:58:00 AM Reply Bucktails are large flies that were popular decades ago for coho in the salt.Often trolled fast on the surface near river mouths.They have become more of a fresh water tactic for the large bows in big lakes.
prunehands	Posted: 4/23/2017 3:01:06 AM Reply Lol, it is not 3am
Knnn	Posted: 4/23/2017 9:07:38 PM Reply Thanks. I had heard of bucktails for coho in the salt but never applied in freshwater. Yeah I was not up that late either.
Branfish	Posted: 4/24/2017 4:21:06 AM Reply Made out great. Ended up with 5 in the boat. Gonna get the smoker going next weekend. Got one 5 pounder too

Darrenman	Posted: 4/24/2017 6:22:10 AM Reply Looks like it went great.
cagey	Posted: 4/24/2017 3:16:51 PM Reply KNN, if you check out my profile there are some photos of bucktails I tied that have produced some nice fish. I have trolled them on the surface going fast, especially good when there is a chop on the water, with good results but have also put a couple of ounces of weight on and trolled regular speed.Works well in Shuswap and Okanagan Lakes.
cagey	Posted: 4/24/2017 3:18:41 PM Reply Good day fishing Branfish. I was confident you would have a good day as Mable is always fun at this time of the year. What was the lucky fly/lure?
Branfish	Posted: 4/24/2017 5:27:18 PM Reply Ya it was a great day. I was using a purple egg sucking leech pattern. My dad was using a black micro leech. He had just as many bites. Just didn't haul them all in.
cagey	Posted: 4/24/2017 10:44:49 PM Reply Mable Lk. trout are very tasty. Hope you did not smoke them all !
Branfish	Posted: 4/27/2017 12:39:06 AM Reply Ya they are tasty. I only ended up keeping two of them. Will smoke them both this Sunday.... But am heading back out to try my luck again this Saturday.
cagey	Posted: 5/1/2017 5:47:29 PM Reply How did you make our Branfish?
Branfish	Posted: 5/8/2017 1:19:14 AM Reply Hey sorry for the late reply. We did very well. Brought about 11 in the boat.
cagey	Posted: 5/9/2017 2:44:50 PM Reply Great day. Mable is such a nice lake , of the big lakes, to fish. And the fish are so tasty !
